Some professors are wildly unqualified and really do know less than a halfway competent student. Still they demand to be treated with the respect of a superior. What then?

>The whole prize is tainted by the sham peace prizes given to Arafat, Kissinger, the North Vietnamese leader, Obama and the little pakistani girl who didn't actually do anything.

I know this is bait but reminder to any brainlet memeing this retarded argument that the first legit winner of a Nobel prize that actually tainted the awards was António Egas Moniz who pushed psychosurgery and lobotomy. In which both the field and technique lost nearly all credibility within a matter of a few decades. And because of said prize and winner the gross abuse of medical malpractice was utilize destroying the lives of thousands of people.

Retards like you don't even know the meaning of the word "tainted" if you think the peace prizes given recently did some kind of wrong to world.

I'm >>9008891 and >>9008814 here, where in my post did I even try to deny biological differences?

Did you even bother to read through my posts? Or where you jerking off to your racism so much that you forgot basic reading comprehension and grabbed the nearest posts that didn't 100% agree with your world view?

Go fuck yourself you brainlet.

>Intelligence

And thus the critical mistake is made by lumping an abstract quality with qualities that are tangible in reality.

At the very least can you put in grey and white matter instead of intelligence? That way the list is consistent in being physically measurable.

Make math a required second language taught in all levels of education along with teaching general math courses.

At this point the population as a whole needs to be forced to learn it. No incentives, no promises of better jobs, no feel good shit, just fucking tell them upfront that they will learn it and if they don't want to they can fuck to mexico.

Does math make money?
