Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@wendymarion5355 says : Would be nice to see a journalist doing a deep dive into what exactly is in the Australian curriculum now..especially in history..>> <<@chuckmaddison2924 says : What crap. Math is math Unless they are concerned about calculating Centrelink entitlements and goon bags per cheque.>> <<@r-labs9357 says : To be honest alternative math sounds very interesting but you can’t just slam our already existing curriculum. Maths has came from all different parts of the world and from where you learn it should still be recognisable to a foreigner as long as many of the numbers and symbols are consistent>> <<@paulhenner8914 says : THEY ARE STONE AGE PEOPLE.....................AND THEY WANT TO TAKE AUSTRALIA BACK TO THE STONE AGE ! !>> <<@tasmiahmasih3863 says : the blind leading the blind>> <<@jrosa7319 says : Dr Ball is so wrong - Mathematics is a worldwide language and early development was centered in what is now the Middle East and Asia - What is her PhD in - Wokeism?>> <<@regineb.4756 says : Surely children should be taught about their cultural heritage, facts of a broader interest in school and the more specific facts by family or in courses outside school. But subjects should not be diluted or reduced for certain ethnicities, how condescending! And yes, there should be extra classes for (ancient) cultural knowledge, often part of history classes, and it should include the culture of all ethnicities.>> <<@prodigalpriest says : I'd say that the idea of Indigenous Mathematics IS racist.>> <<@lesliewatt9344 says : Now come on how stupid can these people really get>> <<@Oushimoto says : South African universities want to replace "colonial" mathematics and science with traditional and cultural magic and witchcraft.>> <<@Orbity38 says : Yup. They can't handle history and math is racist. Welcome to dumb people. Moving back in time. Let's evolve back to monkey 🐒🐵 while we're at it.>> <<@reddawn1960 says : 😂😂😂😂😂 indigenous math 😂😂😂😂😂 man gonna be a crap load of dumbass's in the future.>> <<@pattayaguideorg says : ‘Indigenous mathematics’ left them in the stone age lol.>> <<@stss2442 says : Were they pondering over numbers around the fire?>> <<@RUHappyATM says : And I thought Mathematics is the universl language...at least that's what those sci-fi movies said!>> <<@paulmarshall248 says : 1+1=3 and it always has equaled three for over 60000 years... the number two ended up being woke and now identifies as a number three.. if you don't understand this your a racist..>> <<@keithdouglass3618 says : 🦘🐨 an aboriginal baby girl was adopted by an English couple. girl could not comprehend the school work as she grew up. true story..Keith Australia 🇦🇺>> <<@keithdouglass3618 says : 🦘🦘🐨🐨 equals 2 roos . 2 koalas ..equals 4 animals.. what's the problem mate.. Keith Australia 🇦🇺>> <<@deathbysalt2382 says : As I said in the past, the missing link to unify the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, is the rainbow serpent! Of course! 🤡🤡🤡>> <<@paulpedersen295 says : From my knowledge and experience, aboriginals never had a numbering system other than a ‘few’ or ‘many’.>> <<@lesleycrowther-scott1809 says : Many years ago, I did a uni degree sat the exams was talking to another lady indigenous, Turns out she did get the same exam that I did. They sit or did then sit far easier exams. Don't know if it is the same today. I have found te USA's populatin has been dumbed down. This iswhat they are trying to do to us. So we will believe their BS>> <<@sharinaross1865 says : That is why its tuition and fees.>> <<@briant7265 says : The problem with math is that it teaches that there is one truth. There is no room for everybody to have their own math. Also that it teaches logic, which is anathema to woke.>> <<@MisterTutor2010 says : Triangle will always be 180 degrees. That's only true on a flat surface :)>> <<@juliedavies169 says : Just another step towards dumbing down students>> <<@JAKJacobs says : Stop.teaching math. Thats why no one believes bidenomics works>> <<@janreid1629 says : New to me! Maths is maths, it's not racial. What will they come up with next!>> <<@PrimarchX says : The '+' sign is too Christian!>> <<@LittlePhizDorrit says : Nobody in the western world knows what 2+2 is, but at least they feel good about it.>> <<@TheHandymanQld says : The aboriginal people of times gone by wouldn't even have known of the word 'mathematics' let alone known how to count. So how can maths be "racist" (again with that word).>> <<@johnoneill1011 says : NSW's Mathematics Standard course is known as "Veggie Maths". I suspect that's because Maths is good for you and you take it because it's good for you, but you don't really like it. Below that is Mathematics Life Skills, colloquially called "Choko Maths", because it is Veggie without the flavour. i.e. no calculus. That's the one to pick if you plan to enter Labor politics and become Treasurer.>> <<@OleJoe says : All I can say to Australia, is don't look to America for solutions, because we don't have any -- Especially here in California.>> <<@ilikeporn75 says : I find how funny you are the most racist pieces of s*** I've ever seen on the internet>> <<@ceegee6165 says : Music & math, yes! Dance & math, yes! Indigenous Dance & math, no! I'm a dancer, I understood it's disrespectful to practice/teach a culture that is not your own.>> <<@ceegee6165 says : Woke nonsense. Let's not .>> <<@Mark-e9u9s says : There is no such thing as!>> <<@steveblack5066 says : Nothing like establishing a permanent underclass to serve the the progressive elites. Guarantee that their kids go to private school and learn real math.>> <<@TheColonelKlink says : 2 + 2 = woke tears>> <<@psykobanana says : What the actual fuck is indigenous mathematics? 🤣>> <<@garykendall3776 says : Now! Now! Mathematics is cultural appropriation from all sorts of indigenous populations to all sorts of indigenous populations. e.g. If the ancient Mayans, Chinese, and Indians could all foretell the approach of comets, and then we get the later inputs from Greek, and Arab mathematicians, who actually "owns" the mathematics? To claim that present day mathematics is the " White man's imposition" is patently absurd on its face. If ever a subject met the modern diversity and inclusion standard it is modern mathematics.>> <<@andrealegg2527 says : Our schools, colleges are not teaching anymore they are more about ideologies, telling children what to think, what to beleive. So when they are older they wont be able to think for themselves just go blindly with their goverments. Our populations are getting dumber and dumber, with kids leaving school not able to read, add up, not knowing history. And all this is on purpose!! In 50 years time these countries will have one party goverment and they will tell you how to live>> <<@edithflood631 says : Australian Curriculum writers, with deep experience - inserting William Spady’s Outcomes/Standards Based Education and the NCTM’s redundant and superseded 1989 Standards into the Australian National Curriculum… - making every student a winner via the attenuation of abstract content, replaced with glossy and attractive colour textbook pictures. - implementing naked derailment of student progress by insertion of pointless number theory busywork puzzles mislabeled ‘Advanced Maths’ to keep strong individual achievers treading water. - using group collective activities to stultify and even out achievement - neglecting basic skills which were replaced with calculators - cancelling the practice of algorithms, which were replaced with real life problems. Finally, in the new millennium, in pursuit of a Greater Cause, Australian Maths syllabus writers have rewritten the multicultural history of the mathematics of Euclid, Archimedes, Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, and Al-Khwarizmi’s algebra. This rich and syncretic known history has been cancelled because Mathematics is now considered by the Woke Leftists writing our children’s curricula to be a white man’s tool of colonial oppression. This revisionism was necessary in order for our neo-Marxist scribes to “decolonize” Mathematics by inserting pretend indigenous and minority artifacts and exercises into the Australian Maths syllabus. Dances and minority language phonemes are plucked out of context and crudely jemmied into the lesson plan, in a clumsy millennial throwback to the good old days of “Spaghetti and Polka” multiculturalism of the 1970s school curriculum. And the syllabus writers in Canberra do not even realize they are treading a well-worn path… and they wouldn’t care… because the ideologues wrecking Australian Maths have no sense of history. Every year is Year Zero whether in Pol Pot’s Democratic Kampuchea or in the Australian Mathematics Curriculum. (The oppressive colonial concept of the symbol Zero, actually being a Mesopotamian and Mayan invention which took over a thousand two hundred years to reach Western Europe via India and the Muslim world).>> <<@neilbeauchamp1924 says : The Aboriginals had only 2 terms in maths. There was one and then many. With one the word was spoken once. The examples that come readily to mind are Gin and Wagga. When there wer many these became Gin Gin and Wagga Wagga. It is really easy to learn aboriginal maths. That was the sum total of the aboriginal mathematics system.>> <<@colb715 says : Monty Python is coming to life!>> <<@colb715 says : Indigenous maths haaa haaaa haaaa what a joke what bull shit. How many spears do I have two if I give one away how many,Amy do I have now!!>> <<@seraphimknight3754 says : Another f'n white woman. Maths actually dates back to Sumer. Idiot professor needs to read more.>> <<@annmcewan6080 says : This is nonsense.>> <<@iconicon5642 says : I'm not sure I agree with this. For example, the SI system of units e.g. metre is a fundamentally different way of thinking about and measuring the world than the British system e.g. lbs and ozs. A comparative study would not be without merit.>> <<@awalkinthedark5267 says : Neurodiverse people often flourish in subjects like maths precisely because there is no social component. Aboriginal math sounds like discrimination to me.😊>> <<@beefy8269 says : indigenous mathematics is nothing new , Dianne Abbot has eleventy eight degrees in the subject>>
