What you don't realize is that if you explain math correctly most people would understand it better. It's not like some people are just smarter than others by a lot, and if that's the case then I am smarter than most of you.

i think her point boils down to "anything westerners/europeans/colonial americans ever did was racist". it sort of is a defensible argument, since for example the use of math at a high level was mostly something white people did, and that was part of their culture, and their culture was racist, so in theory math is a part of a racist culture.

the guy interviewing her is trying to use common sense to say "hey, no" because calling anything and everything white people did racist leads to things like "coffee is racist" or "electricity is racist" or "stoplights are racist". and i bet she would agree to all those things. because her stance is pretty ridiculous, but it might be defensible and even have a nugget of truth. it doesn't mean we should abolish stoplights though. just because stoplights are things that were popularized by white american culture makes them racist doesn't mean they are not a good innovation. and ironically, the stoplight was invented by a black guy. so i guess he was racist too and racism transcends race, it's just "white culture bad" at this point. you can say words like this and it's fine, because normies like to just spew bullshit and whatever, let normies be normies

There is no such thing as """race""" we are all the same species but with region-specific gene expressions which amount to adaptations. Therefore there is no such thing as """racism""" either.
What we do have is some mouth-breathing assholes running around discriminating against and being violent against some members of our own *species* simply because they look or sound different from them, and since they're mouth-breathing morons and/or wilfully ignorant, the way they """handle""" the emotions they experience being presented with someone who is different from them, is to be rude, violent, and overall nasty to those people.

I think it was more because of the historical development of philosophy that also helped developed math.

back then ideas moved too slowly because there wasn't massive technologies of comunication.

China and india had not an internet back then to update their knowledge with european archievements.

>China and india had not an internet back then to update their knowledge with european archievements.
The funny thing is, China (and India to a certain, but lesser extent) actually started off with a head start in terms of advancement.
This is where the theory of a high-level equilibrium trap comes into play:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_equilibrium_trap
In brief:
>Elvin says that these factors in combination produced what he calls a "high-level equilibrium trap." He says that widespread technical progress results from some large disequilibrium between supply and demand in the economy, which prompts people to find creative new ways to address the difficulties produced by the change.
>The late imperial Chinese economy had reached an equilibrium point. It had become stable, efficient, and well organized. The rapidly growing population but slowly growing amount of agricultural land largely prevented any significant capital surplus from developing, as almost all production was required for basic sustenance.
>The growing population also provided a ready pool of cheap labor. The Chinese economy was enormous and well integrated. The dense and well-developed water trade networks yielded a relatively large amount of profit to the upper classes and alleviated local supply shortages. Thus, there was no incentive for further technical refinement, and technical progress stagnated.

Ideology is also implicated in the theory.
It goes along the lines of, Taoism promoted exploration of the universe as a spiritual objective, whereas, Confucianism placed that upon the individual, and what that individual can do for the collective.

Kenyan children don't recognize themselves in the mirror
>Tanya Broesch and her colleagues began by taking a simplified version of the mirror self-recognition test to Kenya, where they administered it to 82 children aged between 18 to 72 months. This version of the test involved a small, yellow post-it note rather than a red splodge, and children weren’t given the usual verbal prompts such as ‘who’s that in the mirror?’. Amazingly, just two of the children ‘passed’ the test by touching or removing the post-it note. The other eighty children ‘froze’ when they saw their reflection – that is they stared at themselves but didn’t react to the post-it note.

>Next, Broesch and her team took their test to Fiji, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Peru, Canada and the USA, where they tested 133 children aged between 36 to 55 months. The performance of the North American children was in line with past research, with 88 per cent of the US kids and 77 per cent of the Canadians ‘passing’ the test. Rates of passing in Saint Lucia (58 per cent), Peru (52 per cent) and Grenada (51 per cent) were significantly lower. In Fiji, none of the children ‘passed’ the test.
