You do not grok what is happening here. You are approaching the threat with a completely inadequate paradigm.
I do not believe HN moderation would permit me to explain further.
- cbozeman 5y agoWell indulge us and attempt it.
- boppo1 5y agoTake the risk. Or make a throwaway.
- skyde 5y agoI never said it was a threat, but the woke people claim the formula are racist so i give them the benefit of the doubt and willing to have someone explain why and how i should teach them in a less racist way.
- tharne 5y ago> so i give them the benefit of the doubt and willing to have someone explain why and how i should teach them in a less racist way. I think you misunderstand their motives here. I don't think even the wokest of the woke believes in their heart that math is racist. It's about power for its own sake. By labeling this or that arbitrary thing as racist or colonialist or trans-phobic, these people force every conversation back to their topics, on their terms, and their turf. By doing this, they are A) Establishing themselves as the default moral authority, and B) Successfully pushing the idea that reality is nothing more than what they say it is.
