2023 Pacific Hurricane forecast: "heightened risks for Mexico and Hawaii."
(07-27-2023, 01:46 AM)AaronM Wrote: Since you like fact checking so much - we typically credit the Arabic people for Algebra.  Not all Arabs adhere to the Muslim religion.  Although that is a common misconception as  advanced mathematics developed from Greece to India and most definitively, the Rhind Papyrus documented algebra roughly two centuries before Mohammed was born. 

Not to get totally off track, but yeah, there appears to be a limited Egyptian algebra noted on a couple papyri sources, and before that even more limited Babylonian algebra, and contributions from China, India, and Greece, but Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizm is commonly noted as the "Father of Algebra" due to his providing the first known systematic solution of various algebraic equations, and he was a devout Muslim from the preface to his work The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing.

That original algebra link I provided had this history covered, so I'm not sure what you're trying to show here other than you didn't (fully) read that source, but did your own research to provide some paltry "well actually" retort? Regardless, good job on making sure the facts have been checked to be correct!

Um ok... but do you reject the benefits of democracy because you don't belong to the originating cultures, like you do with the notion of Aloha? Because that was the point - learning and adaptation, right?

Quote:Finally, I never claimed to want any "undesirables eliminated" but putting words in other people's mouths appears to be how you like to argue.

Here's what you said:

Unless of course, you want people who need to be told not to drink bleach contributing to the gene pool.

People operating under misconceptions should be left to die so they don't contribute to the gene pool - appears to be a path for eliminating those you deem undesirable to me, but please do explain more.

Anywho, hi back to you HOTPE! (who lives in Hawaii therefore this is on topic, right?) Punaweb for the lolz...
