Only if kids were taught this sort of mathematics during school time. Maths would have been my favourite subject. It is the polar opposite right now. The maths I study at school is a torture for me because even my teacher would refuse to explain it.

She is a passionate advocate for what was called the canon of "classical education"! The “Trivium“ aka. the pure/theoretical or formal sciences: - logic - rhetoric - grammar and the perhaps more practical sciences of the "Quadrivium" : - Arithmetic - Geometry - Music - Astronomy The Trivium teach you to think and give you the the Tools of Thought, it's clear Formulation and it's Expression The Quadrivium are exemplary and teach you how to apply these tools. Missing in this canon are - and in Professor Shengs argumentation are tools and exemplars for assessing and determining the value or relevance of the object of Consideration: - Economics and Utility - Morals and ethics with respect to its own and any higher Objectives: - Philosophy - Theology Thank you, Professor Sheng, you are reststating the exact reasons why I studied pure Mathematics, theoretical Cybernetics and Philosophy at "Universities" and not at "Polytechnical Schools". Thank you for being so passionate about true Education towards what may be called "wisdom" versus the pure dissemination of knowledge.

a,b and c are known as "variables". They can have any values what so ever, they don't even need to be numbers. "a" can be 5, cat, 60 degree rotation, a 4 meter long line or pi. It all depends on what you choose a to be.

I do not believe, having looked at your publications, that you are a pure mathematician at all. Do you understand what pure mathematics is? It isn't emotion: "In a world where fake news stories change election outcomes, has rationality become futile? In The Art of Logic in an Illogical World, Eugenia Cheng throws a lifeline to readers drowning in the illogic of contemporary life. Cheng is a mathematician, so she knows how to make an airtight argument. But even for her, logic sometimes falls prey to emotion, which is why she still fears flying and eats more cookies than she should. If a mathematician can’t be logical, what are we to do? In this book, Cheng reveals the inner workings and limitations of logic, and explains why alogic-for example, emotion-is vital to how we think and communicate. Cheng shows us how to use logic and alogic together to navigate a world awash in bigotry, mansplaining, and manipulative memes. Insightful, useful, and funny, this essential book is for anyone who wants to think more clearly."
@manuninjaboy Жыл бұрын
Simple fact is, If you don’t understand the true nature of the underpinnings which make Cheng’s argument so beautifully simple and strong. Then certainly, you’re not a mathematician yourself. Thus, there’s an entire class of universal truths for which you must not have access to. Therefore, it follows that you don’t have the tools required to create a compelling counter argument against her claims. QED

How so? She set out to explain what is meant by multiple intersecting groups being more privileged and she did. She wasn't trying to prove the existence of privilege or explain what privilege might entail. You might disagree with how she skewed the parallelepiped, or with privilege existing, but in terms of getting what people mean by multiple types of privilege coexisting so we all talking about the same thing, this was relatively straight forward. And yeah, individual events in the real world are vastly more complicated, but the only way humans have ever managed to get a grasp of anything is by abstraction and limiting the information to what is relevant.

The thing is: Math is math and it keeps beeing math. Math is in itself true and will always be true. Even if we still have to discover more of it there is always this inherent truth. But Society, Society changes over time. Therefore this whole diagram could be utterly useless or maybe completely false in a couple of decades because of the "white" and "male" component. The only thing that alwas will give you privilege is "rich" but everything else is changing and therefore not always true. (Even beeing rich could give you bad privilege, for example in a bloody revolution against rich people) I think it is not good to make the connection to math with cultural issues because that may make people think that those issues are allways true and will always be true.
