|content=It is entirely acceptable to decry how shitty &amp; dumb Americans are at mathematics. Because it‘s totally untrue.

What we can’t talk about is radical underperformance in math by Asians in a non-capital intensive subject perfect tailored for poorer nations:

|content=@thepericulum Interesting idea. I’m not willing to cede the idea that Asia can’t dominate Fields Medal level mathematics. It will require cultural shifts, but that’s what I mean by math. How fast you can do triple integrals is irrelevant to me. And will soon be irrelevant to everyone, I think.

Let me begin w/ a definition.

A Public Web Forum is a platform reachable without any private/corporate provider being traversed in the process. Then a forum is *meaningfully private* if &amp; only if PWFs exist.

I love India, but you have to see how completely different it is. It can be both more advanced &amp; more screwed up.

If you’ve never heard the phrase “Eve teasing” look that up. You’ll let India show you more if you don’t go solo.

I have no idea whether he was a Muslim, Christian, Druse or Jew as his father was from Lebanon and his mother Belorussian. Or all of the above. 

Which is to say, we are all bound up in each other &amp; are *all* here for the long haul.

But you bring up an interesting point. Most all of the amazing people I know “can’t stand the heat” (deliberate attacks, threats against family and smearing of their reputation) so they “get out of the kitchen” (retreat from public life and service).

|content=Okay. I re-read it. Here is my take:

A) The piece on its own is not the issue. It’s part of a growing literature that lives to paint heterodox dissenting center-Left voices as dreaded gateways to the ‘alt-right’. 

B) You’re right about ‘dullard’. It’s annoying ... but so what.

|content=@clairlemon Claire, I’m genuinely confused by what you‘re saying. I for example don’t use the “classical liberal” label almost at all. So there’s a fad of young adults calling themselves “progressives” who fight against progress &amp; for racism/sexism if the targets are flipped. Are you buying?

|content=@clairlemon Let’s try a different approach. Think of an occupied country &amp; a resistance w/ a government in exile.
Would Gandhi have been a jilted lover if he didn’t accept the British Raj as Indian? Would DeGaulle be delusional? Ben-Gurion? Mandela? Gazans?

I think you may be in error here.

But you are certainly not speaking for those of us who both very much  believe in structural injustice, as well as in wildly exaggerated claims thereof.
