The name Pythagorean theorem had long been established before the Babylonian Mathematics was discovered.

benalvino3:
how is it racist lol. they call it Pythagoras theorem because of so many things he did connected to astronomy and philosophy. No one can really trace who invented it. he himself learn it from the egypt and he made it famous through is cult.

I don't see any racism in it.

zendi:
Nigerian cannot learn math in the West because white teachers are 'raciss' ?
Cannot learn math at home because math teachers are poor (lazy) ?

WispyEthereal:
I thought after your explanations it should be clear that the issue wasn't about mathematics but the hypocrisy of European colonialism I.e claiming ownership of ideas that originated elsewhere and were long in existence before those it was attributed to were born. It was plain enough to me after your post but he deliberately wanted to run away with the headline for propaganda purposes

Pastafari:
No one will finish reading a good book in a day.

Pastafari:
Buda, you need to spend more time knowing the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Pastafari:
Now you are getting it. Now keep reading

Pastafari:
Looks like you won't get it until you actually read the book

Pastafari:
You are a book away from being lost.

SweetVibe:
Wait…so you expect sense and logic from a communist liberal like budaatum?

Pastafari:
You are still very lost. LordReed please come and beg Buda to read the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster to understand the point.
He's very lost in this conversation

WispyEthereal:
you're a simple minded tw@

Pastafari:
Then you cannot deliberate my beliefs if you don't understand the nitty gritty of my belief.
It's very hard that I gave you the whole answers but you still ask me questions because you don't care the read it.

Pastafari:
You will get it if you read the gospel I shared with you.
Please read it. Summon the courage, this debate is unnecessary if you can read the book

Inductive reasoning: conclusion merely likely
Inductive reasoning begins with observations that are specific and limited in scope, and proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain, in light of accumulated evidence. You could say that inductive reasoning moves from the specific to the general. Much scientific research is carried out by the inductive method: gathering evidence, seeking patterns, and forming a hypothesis or theory to explain what is seen.

Conclusions reached by the inductive method are not logical necessities; no amount of inductive evidence guarantees the conclusion. This is because there is no way to know that all the possible evidence has been gathered, and that there exists no further bit of unobserved evidence that might invalidate my hypothesis. Thus, while the newspapers might report the conclusions of scientific research as absolutes, scientific literature itself uses more cautious language, the language of inductively reached, probable conclusions:

What we have seen is the ability of these cells to feed the blood vessels of tumors and to heal the blood vessels surrounding wounds. The findings suggest that these adult stem cells may be an ideal source of cells for clinical therapy. For example, we can envision the use of these stem cells for therapies against cancer tumors [...].1

Pastafari:
And who says science cannot tell what happened 13.8billion years ago when all the indices and markers are available to extrapolate that?
It's like assuming that science cannot know what happened during Ordovician-silurian Extinction: 440 million years ago when the all markers are available in form of fossil records.

DissTroy:
Good.
By implication that makes the Idaho Government website a lie, a propaganda website since I am quoting and templating this argument on exactly what it states in Chapter 50, Item 2:

https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title18/T18CH50/SECT18-5003/

It makes you right and the government wrong.

Here, Budaatum, here is the part I warned you about that I was backing you into a corner with a sabre to your chest.

DissTroy:
Let's diissect your logic:

The official Idaho government website has a law posted which legalisees conditional cannibalism .....

Pastafari:
Because scientists didn’t predict covid19 is not a valid argument against the predictability power of science.

DissTroy:
Dude, argue like a man who can read and can rationalise issues with his own summations tallying with proven facts.

Don't copy long text from somewhere else and expect I'd read it. Read it and state your summations. This is not an exam where you have to give me verbatim. I'm not here for copy and paste to make your replies look long but rational consumption of thoughts and your deductions from everything stated then we go at it.

If this is you tapping out, I'd oblige you but only when I please. A few more punches to the head as pathing gifts.

Pastafari:
The fact that you think we can’t know what happened 13.8billion years speaks volume about your person. That thought is grossly fallacious.
Science has given us the power to travel back in time and also accurately predict the future.

Pastafari:
I am not saying that I am necessarily correct, but it’s my belief and and long as you cannot disprove it, we can’t overrule it.

DissTroy:
Only Idaho has a consultation which outrightly permits cannibalism and that isn't subject to the interpretation of a llaw court.

You can’t eat another person’s blood or flesh unless it’s critical for survival.

What it says:

Title 18, Chapter 50 of Idaho Statutes says “Every person who unlawfully and maliciously deprives a human being of a member of his body, or disables, disfigures or renders it useless, or cuts out or disables the tongue, puts out an eye, slits the nose, ear or lip, is guilty of mayhem.” Also falling under this chapter is cannibalism — or willfully ingesting the flesh or blood of a human being.

When it was passed:

This law was passed in 1990.

Loeb’s interpretation:

Idaho Statutes specify that there is a viable defense for cannibalism: if the action was taken under extreme life-threatening conditions as the only apparent means of survival.

“That’s your Donner Party defense,” Loebs said, where a person could say, “I was trapped out in the woods, and my hunting companion died of natural causes and froze to death and I was gonna die too, so I ate him.”

However, “It’s not a defense to killing your hunting partner,” he said.

Loebs said Idaho has never prosecuted cannibalism in his career, and he’s not sure why it became a law when it did.

What the penalties are:

Cannibalism is a felony in Idaho and punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Pastafari:
Why must I provide evidence for my belief?
Why can’t you just disprove my belief?

DissTroy:
Again, you are a devious obscuficator.

The Idaho only states what conditions the act of cannibalism is allowed as an exemption from felony.

It didn't state or make provisions for what mortal condition the person being eaten is, whether dead or alive.

It just says cannibalism and simply that.

The Bible is not a "book".

Ta Biblia is a set of ancient texts.

Tamaratonye1:
Unfortunately, just reading it may get you a modicum of understanding, but without knowledge of the ancient Near East, the literature of the time, and very specific (and probably extensive) knowledge of the culture(s) which produced them all, you really would have very little "understanding" of what you were reading. The comparison to Aesop's Fables and Confucianism is probably not very accurate.

Tamaratonye1:
Wow. Stop the presses, we have the greatest mind this world has ever known. LOL

Tamaratonye1:
For the record, "suspension of disbelief' is a literary term and doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.

Tamaratonye1:
Judge what? There are thousands upon thousands of mythologies in this world.

Tamaratonye1:
And I did mention other religious tomes other than the Koran. I see you've conveniently kept silent about the sacred texts of all other religions. I take it you've read all of them as a child, right?

Tamaratonye1:
Like, I don't know, all that science has discovered since those primitive times and has taught us about the world and ourselves. But by all means, if you need your mind profoundly opened by the mythologies of people who knew infinitely less than we do, that's entirely up to you.
Hey there

Rochelle Gutierrez, who teaches “Sociopolitical Perspectives on Mathematics and Science Education” at the University of Illinois, responded o a tweet from a former educator claiming that the U.S. “colonizes” math.

“By now it is well known, for example, that other cultures were using the theorem we call Pythagorean, yet we still refer to it with this name. This is colonization and erasure,” the tweet from the former educator read.
