They removed logic from the masses too, which your post is a good example of.

Does anyone want to pinpoint a year when American education was subverted, and the year of births negatively impacted by those changes?

I graduated in 2014; I did not notice any downgrade.
>>
>>24962474
It began when the Prussian education system was implemented throughout the West in the 19th century. The dumbing down of the masses has been a gradual process since then. Euclid was abolished in the 1950s.

What is wrong with it? You could always write a better and more relevant geometry textbook.
>>
>>24962538
No. They didn't all of a sudden write a better book than the book that had been used for millennia. It was abolished to dumb down the masses.

whenever they started these programs against teenage pregnancy, i have met adult women in their 30s who still talk about pregnancy like it's some horrible thing that man "does" to you, the message that young women clearly received wasn't "don't get pregnant at 16" it was "don't get pregnant ever". i bet if u look at one that shit started in schools birthrates dropped.

Euclid is fun but not representative of how people think about mathematics today. Read him to understand how phil of math changed over time.

Link has no relevance to the claim that Euclid was "abolished" in the 1950s.
>>24962739

I can see why you're obsessed with the trivium, when your brain is so malformed and belching all the time that you can't sensibly connect relevant links to your claims. Being dependent on YT vids instead of reading a book the whole way through is another sign.

Not that anon. Here's one of the reasons Euclid became a thing of the past for american schools
>The School Mathematics Geometry Study Group" (SMSG) refers to the landmark 1950s-70s U.S. initiative, driven by the Sputnik launch, to modernize math education, creating curricula like New Math, focusing on understanding, axiomatic systems (like SMSG's Euclidean geometry)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Mathematics_Study_Group
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math
But the Elements was already falling out of favor in the 19th century. Lewis Carrol wrote a defense: Euclid and His Modern Rivals (1879).

The Critical Period For Language Learning was a sham. Scientistic mysticism, mostly for midwittery cope.

>>24962503
Its absolutely criminal how children are no longer taught to use a compass and straightedge to prove through bisection of a triangle the angle A is equivalent to the angle B. Instead they are taught a bunch of irrelevant gobblygook "calculus" developed by literal occultist weirdos like Newton.

No there isn't. But anyway, you're totally confused. You're the one that came in here, and didn't know to separate an idea from the person, and thought that all discussion is about is attacking the person. If you had studied any logic at all you wouldn't be like this. The topic of this thread is not me.
>>
>>24965104
So? This thread isn't about Noam Chomsky.

>>24963327
>Euclid is fun but not representative of how people think about mathematics today.
It is more likely that people today are simply mistaken about mathematics. Being taught geometry with the Cartesian coordinates first is a mistake.

You didn't click the link. It's timestamped to where it talks about the psychologization subcategory of ad hominem, which is what the person I replied to was doing, and which you are doing now. When you enter a discussion you're supposed to look at the ideas presented and address those, not instantly begin attacking the person. So many people are utterly confused today.

Im not the anon you posted that at and I’m not attacking the character of the person. I’m placing scrutiny on Peikoff’s (the video’s) credibility. You sent a video and I checked it out. If someone’s an Randian objectivist, they can’t ground epistemological norms like fallacies in anything but brute enforcement, which means they can’t tell you why exactly these must be followed, only that their reasoning ends in an arbitrary stopping point. Furthermore, they misuse terms like “mystic” pejoratively and unwittingly make caricatures of opposing views, thereby committing fallacies. It’s at 2:15:20.

I don't give a fuck about Ayn Rand. I posted it for you to watch a few minutes from the timestamp. What he says there is what any logic book will tell you and has fuckall to do with Ayn Rand.
