    RESPONSE TO A CRITIC ON THE ORIGINS OF MATHEMATICS

    (from elsewhere)

    Math predates writing.

    First record of written basic math is from egypt.

    First treatise is from greece

    First Geometry from greece.

    First Algebra from greece by Diophantus although it is possible that like newton and leibniz both he and al-Khwarizmi discovered it.

    POsitional numbering in babylon. Decimal notation by Archimedes. zero-placeholder by hindus

    Much came out of the fertile crescent from anatolia to egypt to iran. It was the origin of barley, and it looks like bronze by combining tin from afghanistan with regional copper. And the persian mastery of mountain spring water for drinking, cooking, andirrigation was perhaps the most impressive architecture in the world.

    however, if you do some reading, instead of depending upon bits and drabs of nonsense, you’ll find out that the west disproporionately discovered and innovated faster than all other civilizations combined, despite being on the remote edge of the bronze age.

    Sorry.

    Do some research before you criticize us grownups.

    Here is my reading list.

  • Q: “CURT, HOW DO YOU HANDLE DEMANDS YOU DEFEND YOUR ARGUMENTS?” The economics of

    Q: “CURT, HOW DO YOU HANDLE DEMANDS YOU DEFEND YOUR ARGUMENTS?”

    The economics of answering questions. 😉

    1) if I think the person is asking an honest question and I can answer him without extraordinary effort, I do so.

    2) If I think the person is asking an honest question, but is being lazy by not doing the simple searches, I answer a bit snidely.

    3) If I think the person is asking an honest question but the cost of ‘helping’ that person is too high, I ignore it, or simply say so.

    4) If i think the person is challenging me, I state the truth: Truth survives criticism. It cannot be confirmed. One cannot, I cannot, defend a criticism against ignorance. One can only raise criticism if one possesses the knowledge to criticize. If one had the knowledge to criticize one would say so. If one asks for confirmation he shows (a) he is ignorant of the scientific method, (b) he lacks the knowledge to counter with an empirical or logical response showing how it cannot be true, or can be explained by more parsimonious statement, (c) he is really just imposing a cost on me by asking me to defend myself without offering a criticism to defend against. (d) therefore the individual is both incompetent, ignorant, and a liar.

    5) if includes ridicule, I see it as an attempt at deception by imposing a cost on me. I attack ridicule.Then I restate the central argument. I repeat the process of returning the insult and restating the central argument – each time with minor variations – as a means of ‘chanting’ the truth, thereby ‘using’ the platform the individual has given me to (a) demonstrate his dishonesty, ignorance, and incompetence, and (b) getting across my message thru repetition.

    CHINESE VS WESTERN VIRTUE SIGNALLING

    —“What the fuck does [very different virtue signaling in China] mean? Curt Doolittle. You are still here, explain.”— Anon

    Sorry, I missed the OP’s request for an answer.

    1) Ethnic europeans demonstrate higher, more consistent, more constant creativity (innovation) in all walks of life. (See: Charles Murray. Nicholas Wade)

    2) Some of this can be attributed to the higher occurrence of personality traits (a) openness to experience, (b) ‘worry/anxiety’, (so called ‘Neuroticism’) in ethnic europeans.

    3) Much of this can be attributed to the lower underclass burden, and therefore higher trust, superior norms and institutions of western civilization. (See: Garrett Jones)

    4) The majority of this effect can be attributed to the various uniquenesses of western civilization’s use of ‘heroism’ (climbing the dominance hierarchy by demonstrated works – or perhaps more so that climbing the dominance hierarchy is not prohibited as it is in many other cultures) as well as the competition between small states (princedoms) for talent in order for the nobility to virtue signal. (the origins of which we understand fairly clearly: See Emmanuel Todd, Karen Armstrong, and J.P.Mallory et al.)

    SUMMARY:

    For cultural, genetic, and demographic reasons, western Virtue Signaling has fostered individual risk taking, achievement, and reward at the cost of hierarchical disruption more so than all other civilizations combined – (at least until the merger of cultural marxism (the frankfurt school’s ‘critical theory’) and the French then Anglo postmodernists, (which you see evidence in the comments by some of the effeminate ‘useful idiots’ above).

  • Do Americans Realise That Nearly The Whole World Laughs About Their New President, And Therefore America Itself?

    Does the rest of the world realize that we laugh about their politics, politicians, lifestyles, and misunderstanding of America and Americans?

    Americans ‘hired’ this president to be a wrecking ball – and end the parasitism of other nations on the american middle class.

    The entire world is fighting him.

  • What Is The Fastest Way To Impress A Woman?

    Money, Fitness, Grooming, Humor, and the status of your friends. – without being intimidating. And in that order.

    Be calm. Patient. Give her time to feel, and choose. Don’t try hard. It means you’re desperate.

    You specialize in her genetics. She specializes in identifying evidence of your ‘value’.

    There is no shortcut to money, fitness, grooming, humor.

    That is what all the ‘man-education’ is reducible to.
