>more impressive than what Gauss did

yeah uh, Gauss didn't do that....rather the story be apocryphal or not.

Gauss added all the intergers together between 1 and 100, which is vastly more impressive than what this kid did

WTF

he literally just adds 9, this isn't impressive

Does arithmetic skill correlate to excelling at math? I don’t know much about modern math, if you can call it that, but I don’t see how being able to sum fast has anything to do with category theory, algebraic topology, or anything like that. Perhaps combinatorics?

>>10195894
>multiples of nine
Add one, take one. That's the mnemonic right?

>>10195922
>Does arithmetic skill correlate to excelling at math?
Not really. It just means you're good at counting.

why have no africans been more impressive than gauss

this is a question to be asked yet no one wants to answer

why are people saying this isn't as good as what gauss did?

>>10195894
If you guys actually watched the video you would have seen that he can also do rather complicated multiplications (for example 670*12) very quickly in his head. Now that doesnt mean hes a mathematical genius, but it is quite remarkeable.

>>10196018
Hmm... might have something to do that there were no schools in Africa for much longer than in Europe, and comparatively few Africans got any math education....
Nah, that makes too much sense, I guess Africans are just born stupid!

>>10195909
I'm keeping my eyes on you, racist

>>10195894
Niggers must dies

Based.
White men are terrible at math and dey don't spice dey food

>>10195903
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
...
50+51=101

101×50=5050

If I did this without looking am I as smart as a 10yo genius?

It's not surprising considering that the average white man on 4chan is between 70-80 IQ and the average """"""""subhuman"""""""" brown/African Ubermensch is 95+ IQ

>>10196134
why have there been less schools and worse education in africa and why did whites invent the modern educational system and almost all mathmatical knowledge taught in african schools?

>>10196158
Whites invented everything at the discretion of everyone else. Nobody is supposed to be thankful to whites because if whites hadn't done it then someone else would have like Indians or Chinese or even Arabs or Persians.
Whites kept everyone else down and then took credit for everything. Education is a right not a privilege.

>>10196161
name me one sub saharian african scientist or mathematician of any importance?

>>10196185

literally all of modern mathematics and science is creation of white people

Leibniz literally said that if you took all of mathematical invention from the dawn of history to the time of Newton, that Newton's invention was greater

hell there wasn't even physics before Newton....literally nothing before Newton is of any importance in physics

>>10196161
>it was done at the discretion of other races
How did Newton and Euler do what they did well before Whites colonized South or East Asia? And why didn’t those races do that before whites or simultaneously with them?
>they kept them down
How? With superior technology, military strategy and social hierarchies? That’s not all a sign of higher innate intelligence?
>>10196188
Well i guess if he is a black then all those Persian scientists and mathematicians were White seeing as they much more closely resemble Europoids than they do neighboring populations.

>>10196188
>>10196190
who is that guy?

China and India had similar wealth to the level of Europe and yet they never developed a scientific tradition that rivals Europe during the scientific revolution

>>10196190
>18th century scientists
>Only able to make advancements while colonising others

>Superior technology
Yeah well I wouldn't call hiring Indian mercenaries/mayans/incans to kill their brethren superior technology

>Military strategy
Yeah like paying off traitors in your enemies armies.
That's not superior that's inferior desu. Dirty fighting is inherently inferior.

>Social hierarchies
Yeah thanks for inventing slavery. And the fact the white man is the big evil. Fat load of good it's doing you right now. Even your own leftists can recognise this.

>>10196189
yeah buoyancy has no applications

>>10196190
>Persian scientists and mathematicians were White
You can't be white unless you're European. Persians would never want to be a part of your wh*te RACE.

>>10196191
Not a sub-saharan african

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan

India probably has lots of isolated subpopulations that have much higher iq than the national average, Parsi are one of them, in Nigeria the Igbo are another and of course the Jews among both their own race and Europeans.

>>10196193
and how where they able to colonize others?

it was because they had superior tech

>>10196192
Yeah because of colonialism.
Guess what happens when they are no longer kept down?

>>10196193
fucking Galileo did more for the development of science than the entire collective history of Africans....and that was in a time before colonialism...


there has literally never been a sub saharian mathematician or scientist on the level of Newton or Euler

>>10196199
>talked about scientific development

>show me a chart of GDP

brainlet

>>10196192
Guess what happens these days huh how the tables have changed.

>>10196198
They conquered India using indian mercenaries. Then they conquered china using indian troops.
>Superior technology
Top kek. Sure they conquered africans using superior guns but not actual civilizations.
Africans had also lost their leader who had been assassinated unfortunately. That Zulu chief I forgot his name

>>10196206
name me one african work of math or science that rivals Newton's Principia

name me one?

>>10196203
>Earth is round
Yeah Galileo isn't actually that accepted. You ball earther brainlet.

>>10196207
Newton waz a blak man

his name was DaIsaac Newton

>>10196208
retarded baiting faggot

>>10196207
>Newton's achievement is more important than all achievements discovered these days by Chinese people
That's subjective and we can't arrive to an understanding or conclusion that way.

>>10196210
If England gets browned, they will blackwash Newton and it won't be a white achievement. The same way whites white washed Moses and Jesus. It's only fair.

>>10196213
He said African

>>10195894
very little point to doing this but people bring up newton (an outlier) as an example but by the literal same logic (outlier) there's no reason to shit on blacks (because they can in fact produce outliers). of course, the outlier intelligence is obviously not here in this thread

>>10196218
Can you prove Africans won't invent anything of worth in the future?
Since this is subjective. I can take any African achievement like one of the blacks who contributed to the invention of the cell phone and claim it as better than Newton's because it's actually a practical device and Newton just created theoretical nonsense that only amounted to something after his death.

>>10196229
oh you’re actually serious holy shit. well the underlying technology that went into developing cell phones is mostly produced by europeans, as was the internet and the modern power grid, software engineering, fuel extraction-refinement and combustion engines, airplanes, trains, mechanized farming, agricultural genetics and electrical engineering. Newton’s discoveries were almost immediately useful and significant, probably not until Maxwell shows up that anything like that was seen again and then later Einstein and the QM Jew-German cohort.

>>10195949
Doesn't apply to the transition between 90 and 99.

I'm a maths brainlet and I figured that out in a record five seconds.

>>10196235
Underlying technology doesn't matter.
Chinese people invented gunpowder which whites used. So automatically all weapons using gunpowder are derivatives of this and therefore Chinese technology?
I know it's hard to be objective for your supremacists but if you took at ethics class you'd broaden your horizons a bit.
I suspect you'll be posting about wireless signals and gay frogs a few months from now

>>10196235
The pajeet scientist Ramachandran, invented the Ramachandran plot which tells you which alpha helixes and beta pleated sheets you'd find at which bond angles in a protein. Everything that has to do with bond angles in proteins can now be claimed to be pajeet science.
So can the fact that chinese people recently modified human embryos to make them resistant to HIV.
You are saying it's impossible for other cultures just because pre 2000 technology was majority white.
Guess what? This is the 21st century and your lies won't hold that long.

CRISPR and cas9 is Asian technology too because it's an Asian in America that's improving and probably invented it.
By this logical all genetic modification of humans is asian and not white technology.

>>10196134
Where are all the black top level scientists in America?

>>10196199
Where's Haiti on that graph?

>>10196254
mathematical discoveries yield results for physics and biology constantly, that doesn’t make them the direct result or property of the mathematician who generated them. CRISPR is the product of European, and East Asian (including Japanese) scientific research and not one race and they would be credited for their contributions. What does this even have to do with Africans, with India or with Whites discovering and inventing everything? The discovery of gunpowder is credited to the Chinese, its applications for cannons and modern firearms are entirely the doing of Europeans. Its weird that you mention ethics since China’s forray into aggressive genetic engineering on humans is extremely unethical and likely to yield many negative results before any benefit can be derived from it. Even if you did call CRISPR east asian, which would be wrong, it wouldn’t then follow that Europeans didn’t create all of the technology that led up to East Asians developing it or for that matter Africa’s entire technological system and infrastructure.

>>10196284
>/pol/ talks about ethics when he has no ethics
Ok

>>10196284
Of course. Why am I even replying to this post.
When it's a European discovery it's good. When it's not it's bad.
That's what racism means.
Treating someone differently based on their skin colour.
You have no need to justify yourself. Everything you're saying is your opinion and it's based on racism.
I don't know why you don't just say, I'm racist and so we can't have a discussion. But I should already know this.

>>10196188
>indians are subsaharan
>>10196195
>no reading comprehension

Whites discovered nothing but low hanging fruit.
Making a discovery these days is alot harder than doing it back then. For all we know, everyone smart back then could have been dumber than a regular master degree student these days.
A discovery these days is worth alot more than a discovery back then.

The black dude makes a good point.... Idk how you can ignore that aspect.

Math ability has more to do with motivation than intelligence. Highly motivated people excel at it.

Cringey video btw

yall witebois can do science n shiet by we got the best dance moves, and we know how to fuck.

>>10196689
quoting the strawman constructed trying to dismantle white id.

listen the way i see it, yall pajeets and blackistanis are like an oldskool lowrider whip, and whites and asians are like lamboghinis and nissan turbo. we can all get there eventually, but some people are going to get there faster. so stop bitching you silly goose. remember that the people of Africa had barely made it past the stone age by the time they were colonised. colonialism actually accellerated the potential for africans to develop new tech, you idiot.

>>10195894
Can we stop labeling people the next genius until they come up with something profoundly genius that we’ve never seen before? You’re just setting these intelligent people who could have great careers up for failure and disappointment

Just an interesting point for all of you to consider.
Chinese people did indeed invent a lot of important things before Europeans, and Indians had good ideas as well.
Still, Europe developed in the middle ages at a breakneck speed, compared to Asia, and I think the reason for this is fascinating, and it has nothing to do with either IQ, or colonialism.

Europe had such a good time because it was fragmented as hell. This meant that the dozens of little kings on the hills had to entice journeymen and traders and the like to go do business (and get taxed) on THEIR land.
This meant that entrepreneurs in Europe generally had more freedom of movement and freedom from intervention from the state.
India had, on the other hand, an incredibly rigid caste system. China was a huge, unified empire where neither local lords, nor the emperor had any reason to grant anyone any sort of freedom unless it was absolutely necessary.

The moral if the story is, if you want people to develop and innovate and sheit, you have to make them as free to pursue their interests as possible. This is perfectly in line with the graphs posted previously as well. China had a huge program beginning in the 90s, intended to open up markets and give people way more freedom than they had under Mao's communism. The result was literally hundreds of millions of people escaping crushing poverty, and China emerging as a superpower.

>whites kept everyone else down and then took credit for everything.
Idk about you, but when I read math history books, it seems like the cultural center of mathematics has shifted several times. It's not that one set of races is keeping another set down, it's that the political climates change and some political climates are more conducive to mathematical discovery.
go read a book
