And to better sell this idea of Arabs not producing science or literature, let us ban algebra and algorithms so people don’t think of those things ever.
And also …capitalism?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_economics
(I do know Muslim ≠ Arab but a lot of key researchers and their peers were Arab)
Came to say this lol!!! What a racist, stupid man!!
Al-khwarizmi was not Arab tho.
Arab ≠ Islamic Not always.
Many non-Arab peoples also adopted Islam.
Be sure to read the fine print when reading about history…
.
And America should go back to the Good Old Roman numerals, as God intended! None of this Arabic numbers crap. /s
Being a white supremacist typically entails having a poor grasp of recorded history.
You could even say ignorance is a prerequisite.
he doesnt either. he parrots conspiracies that have been scientifically proven false
i object to your use of the word “either”. that gives him too much credibility.
Even if this total lie were somehow true, that there was something about Arab culture or Semitic people that magically made them unable to “produce culture” uhhh they’re still people?? Like they deserve exactly as much dignity and respect as any other people.
But it’s also obviously a stupid racist lie.
I don’t see Robert F Kennedy Junior producing science or literature either.
Something, something …. He must not have learned Arabic numbers in school
Heroin Bobby with the Grandpa Joe aura
I mean Abdul Alhazred wrote the Necronomicon, which I consider to be both science and literature.
Praise be to Yog Sothoth!
And let’s not forget Dick Dale’s contributions to music.
Watch them try to ban Arabic numerals and force everyone to use Roman numbers again.
But I really like zero.
I really REALLY want this to happen. It would be such a perfect example of how incredibly ignorant they are and the complete lack of understanding they have for the world around them.
Like the time a city banned “di-hydrogen monoxide” for like a day until they realized it was just a fancy name for H2O lol
Like the time a city banned “di-hydrogen monoxide” for like a day until they realized it was just a fancy name for H2O lol
That’s not quite the story…
Viejo, California put a proposal on its agenda to ban plastic foam containers over the chemicals used in making them. In the proposal they listed “dihydrogen monoxide”, among other things, presumably because they likely added it to the list after failing to identify a satire website, and it went viral, mostly in right-wing circles that hate anything that protects the environment.
It never got past the proposal stage, and the “dihydrogen monoxide” part wasn’t even the reason why. They never actually banned water and had to walk that back, a Republican lied to you to make you think that.
I think my high school chemistry teacher told us that as a reason why it’s important to know the periodic table or something, idk what their political motivations were.
But I guess even before AI stories were getting twisted and changed to fit narratives or serve personal purposes. Thanks for the info tho, always good to know more info.
It’s not even a fancy name, it’s very literally the scientific name of it…the shit you learn in high school science classes
Nice of you to assume that magats went to school.
Ave, true to Caesar!
I heard The Dems were trying to get kids in school to use Arabic numerals
Gaasp!
Robert F. Kennedy admits he is an ignorant fool when it comes to discussing science and literature.
FtFY
Arabs invented science.
at the very least some numerals
They literally saved Greek science and mathematics from extinction during the dark ages. Sure, Arabic mathematics had its mini dark age when they decided everything should be human words only to make it easier to understand for humans, then they realized that wasn’t the way to go.
Most glassware you see in a modern chemistry lab. Oh and not to mention the stills used to make hard liquor.
What kind of numbers will we use if we want to express in writing a number of how many times this asshole has been wrong. Beware the number is probably not gonna be high enough.
He doesn’t seem to know who brought the alphabet to Europe…
The Phoenicians?
The Phoenician alphabet descends from the Proto-Sinaitic script though. So a bunch of nomads developed Egyptian hieroglyphs into a script to write proto-Canaanite inscriptions, which was the common ancestor of the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, the Ancient South Arabian script, and the Phoenician alphabet
Who do you think the Phoenicians were? Do you think a sea faring people wouldn’t have picked up different nationalities? That’s why racism is so stupid.
On the original point:
Mathematics during the Golden Age of Islam, especially during the 9th and 10th centuries, was built upon syntheses of Greek mathematics (Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius) and Indian mathematics (Aryabhata, Brahmagupta). Important developments of the period include extension of the place-value system to include decimal fractions, the systematised study of algebra and advances in geometry and trigonometry.

posts stuff about algebra
I mean, yes, but note how the word algebra has arabic roots
How about the number system , we all be using Roman number system if it wasn’t for Arab mathematics.
Technically Arabs just brought over the Indian system. Would be fun if e.g. Slavs brought it instead, and it would be called Slavic numerals.
didn’t Arabs also introduce zero?
I don’t know how one would have a positional numeral notation without zero, even if it’s denoted by an empty space. Sure enough, reportedly the symbol for zero appeared in the Hindu numerals, derived from the non-positional Brahmi system. Although apparently both ancient Babylon and China already had their own positional notations, both with a space for zero.
Arabs added a system for fractions instead.
Algebra
Or liquor
Motherfucker the Arabs invented algebra.
Math is woke.
The poindexter mathematicians tell me 2+2=4, but that sounds elitist to me. I’m going to pray on it and see what Jesus says it is.
Some Christians are dangerously approaching Abecederianism.
Bro, nothing riles me up like fake math!
As if x and y can be a number !
Al-gebra sounds scary
/s
Try an Algae Bra
Sounds itchy
Too bad Algebra doesn’t have that much of a use, except, it complicates matters. Why do we even need it when basic mathematics cover about 90% of the things we need to calculate things by?
Edit of shame: Fuck, I fed the trolls.
You’re an embarrassment of a user. Algebra has little to no use, period. Deal with it.
Yes because A Thousand and One Nights and the works of the Arab alchemists that were critical to the foundation of modern chemistry is all fake. /s
Your point still stands, but this is probably a bad example. Many of the stories from A Thousand and One Nights were written by European authors to keep up the sales when they ran out of the originals. Many of the ones we know today were not written outside of europe.
Or like half the anti-colonial literature in 19th and 20th centuries… /s
Firstly that’s super fucking racist. Secondly, the Islamic golden age famously involved a hell of a lot of science and literature being produced bt Arabs. Thirdly, in recent history there was one famous Arab guy who was so committed to producing literature he was writing books while working an extremely high stress job.
TIL. I don’t think I will read them but I’ll remember they exist.
Hitler wrote a book while in prison
Yeah but it was more of an unhinged manifesto/screed. Hussain wrote novels, at least one of which was a romance, which is far more impressive
Soft hearted guy \s
