Being White

No, but I have an idea what it is. Thank you.

 

I did not mention Algebra.

Algebra is Arabic. Not Greek.

 

Fine then mathematics..

 

All cultures played with math.

Counting is not hard. It is intuitive for humans in base 5 or base 10.

Measuring the Earth is Geometry and very complex. This is what the Greeks discovered, although the ancient Egyptians probably gave them some simple clues.

Solving simultaneous equations is Algebra and also very complex. This is what the Arabs discovered how to do.

 

In fact counting in base 5 makes more sense than in base 10.

In base 5, you can use one had to count units and the other to count sets of 5.

So in base 5 you can count on your fingers to 30 not just to 10.

But nobody in history ever thought of this, besides moi.

The ancient Babylonians counted in base 7 after the 7 visible heavenly bodies --

1 - Sun

2 - Moon

3 - Venus

4 - Jupiter

5 - Mars

6 - Saturn

7 - Mercury

And the ancient Egyptians and Greeks counted in base 10, after the 10 fingers on both our hands.

But each of these is foolishness.

Base 5 is superior to both.

 

boo hoo, you have no inkling what discrimination subtle or overt others go through their entire lives...

 

that's because we in the west live in a euro-centric culture, Indian and chinese cultures were unknown to western scholars who had a racial superiority ideology blinding them to the advances in other cultures they deemed inferior ...

 

In J.M. Roberts' acclaimed book "History Of The World" he credits the Protestant Reformation for the superiority of Northern Europe over the rest of the world.

Note that Southern Europe was in the stranglehold of Catholicism and the Asian cultures were still pre-industrial.

 

not having read the book are you claiming the last 300yrs negates the previous 5Kyrs of civilization...is that what you're claiming?

 

Base 1 is superior because it works even if you are missing most of your fingers. If you disagree with me I'd be happy to prove it.

 

Base 1 ???

Never heard of it.

Computers use binary -- base 2.

 

Read the book then.

 

Tally Marks.

 

Ok I see.

Classically tally marks are a base 5 system because every 5th one is a diagonal that crosses the first four and therefore you are counting sets of 5 -- the definition of base 5.

 

Do you mean like women in the Middle East, or homosexuals in the Middle East. Or the phony baloney discrimination that everyone seems so desperate to affirm exists in the US but really doesn't?

 

yeah because old fat white guys know all about discrimination right?

 

Yeah, fat people and old people face discrimination which is why medical conditions and age are protected groups.

 

Discrimination? Most people will experiance that in their lifetime its really all about who whines about it.

 

And why shouldn't they ?

I was young and skinny most of my life, I did not go along with Bigotry or Discrimination of any kind and stood up to it many times.

 

Once, in High School, I was eating Pizza at place right near School with really great Pizza, a Black student was eating, and two big Football jocks walked in and started hassling him, and I was no big guy, a Nerd, and I told those jocks off, to get lost, they said, We got no beef with you, just him.

I replied, he is My classmate, so its My beef too and grabbed a baseball bat from behind the counter, and the owner of the pizzeria came out of the store room, and backed me up.

I never stood by and allowed any discrimination B.S.

 

I bet none of those folks benefit from corporate welfare and the military industrial complex who are the biggest beneficiaries of corporate welfare dollars.

 

Herodotus, the father of Greek history, wrote that Greeks learned civilization from Egyptians. Thus, Western civilization began in Africa, not Europe.

 

Superior white culture always takes from other cultures as much as our own and IMPROVES it, so its not odd, and they were the one culture far more Middle Eastern than African so they were obviously superior and exploited their position conquering and dominating the lesser peoples of Africa sounds very much like the Colonial powers many centuries later. But who conquered the Egyptians later the Greeks, then the Romans who defeated the one remaining power in Africa the mighty Carthaginian Empire they crushed leaving no one as a serious rival in the region for many years and they were defeated by the European powers in time.

 

superior militarily, not culturally or scientifically - and yes, they did exploit it by their protoNazi style military conquests

 

"superior militarily" and your being generous there as well...a single battlefield defeat points to better tactics by a single general and sometimes luck...Rome was on the edge of annihilation for a long time with Hannibal devastating the all roman armies on the Italian peninsula, his fatal error was not besieging Rome into starvation and finishing the war ...
