Kids will no longer need to learn that 2 + 2 = 4 because it's assumed that they already know it. And they can express that knowingness by performing a play whose theme is that capitalism is evil because it insists that 2 + 2 = 4.
These are the kids we are going to pay to go to college? How can IQ be racist unless some races have inherently lower IQ? By the way, 2+2 is actually 5.
You pick a source that is referred to as "The website has been described by scholars and writers as right-wing, far-right, and Islamophobic." and you complaining about some garbage that they published.
Read from a legitimate source if you want valid information
Even in personal development circles they tell you acceptance doesn't equal passivity. These biological urges....anger and attack, help us resist tyranny as a species. If we roll over and accept whatever the elites say we leaves ourselves suseptable to tyranny....if everything is subjective and there is no real truth.....
The video made the point in the last half....
There is objective reality when we are forced to incarnate into this physical universe with it's scientific laws and DNA and chaotic nature ..we have to make order out of that chaos and that's what science and mathematics try to do....I'll take math and science over superstition and mysticism.... The earth is not flat ... If we are all equal, then there's no need to try to invalidate IQ testing because now we are trying to manipulate the rules to force equality where none exists ... Take that nonsense and shove it...I'll live by natural selection and survival of the fittest before I assimilate into a dictatorship like China where my facts are spoon fed to me and I'm taken off to a reeducation camp for non compliance.
I suppose that means these people have the right to believe 2+2=5.... That's fine ..just don't try to force me to believe it ...
The video above assumes anger isn't justified in certain situations, that we are supposed to just be happy and accepting all the time
Are you talking about the video I posted? No, it's Bret Weinstein criticizing someone at Harvard who has claimed that, if the notion that 2+2 doesn't necessarily equal 4 makes you angry, that proves we can't be sure 2+2 really equals 4, that if the mathematical truth was totally self-evident nobody would need to get angry about a contrary claim. Weinstein does not support this argument. He calls it dangerous high-level sophistry, since if the most fundamental agreed on truths that hold our civilization together are brought into question, the whole thing could come crashing down.
Meanwhile Students in China and Asia learn real maths.
