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.

Being a white supremacist typically entails having a poor grasp of recorded history.

he doesnt either. he parrots conspiracies that have been scientifically proven false

Watch them try to ban Arabic numerals and force everyone to use Roman numbers again.

I mean Abdul Alhazred wrote the Necronomicon, which I consider to be both science and literature.

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 heard The Dems were trying to get kids in school to use Arabic numerals

Arabs invented science.

He doesn't seem to know who brought the alphabet to Europe...

Robert F. Kennedy admits he is an ignorant fool when it comes to discussing science and literature.

FtFY

Motherfucker the Arabs invented algebra.

Just written language, math, and the basic foundation of scientific advancement. Without those things, the brain worm might have prevented us from having to deal with him.

Heroin Bobby with the Grandpa Joe aura

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.

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.

My brother tried telling me about how all great advancements came from Europe and European descendants.

I brought up the Islamic Golden Age of Science and he immediately questioned if it was real...

OMG, he's so stupid, none of us can breathe.

Whats really striking about these conservatives is how confident they are even when they are completely and factually wrong.

Controversial opinion: What RFK jr said here is what every Western person is taught in school. The West has systemically erased any non-European achievement from its literature. Going as far as to rename prominent Muslim scholars such as Ibn Sinna and Ibn Rushd and give them names like Avicenna or Averroes.

This is a way to indoctrinate studente of science by giving them the idea that all of modern science has originated from the West since all they see is Western names.

What RFK jr says here is not a failure of his own education. It is what he has been indoctrinated with by the Western education system.

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

What science or literature has Brainworms produced?

All I see this asshat doing is trying to sabotage proven medicine we already have, set American research back decades, and generally carry on with the conservative project of trying to roll back the Enlightenment as whole.

He can go fuck himself. It's fine if he's not producing science himself, but at the very least, he should get the fuck out of the way of those that can. Certainly, he should shut the fuck up about what others produce when he beclowns himself on the regular when he talks about science.

That was a painful watch.

But lets break this down:

His argument is that hatred, war, and victimization cause a reduction in contribution to science and literature.

You asshole, quit pointing your fingers at others and start cleaning up your own damn house.

Racists really are thick as shit.

The fact the average conservative can see and even hear this and say its not racist shows how silly the average centrist is for trying to meet them in the middle.

The sad thing is he could be surrounded by people that tell him "you're right sir! They just sit in caves with towels on their head and plan jihads!"

This headline legitimate made me laugh out loud

Coming from someone who is about as bright as the inside of a black hole, sounds about right for worm brain.

Yeah, unlike quacks, grifters and con artists who make up their own awards.

Fucking brain worms.

Folks there really is no reason to go all the way back to the Islamic Golden Age to disprove this fool. There are many many Arab scientists and writers alive and kicking at this moment right now.

I thought his brain was just so addled that he fucked his speech up. He tried to say the Muslim Brotherhood caused all Muslims to stop contributing to society. He's mentally ill and racist, basically.

This explains his misunderstanding of Science: Mathematics is a lot harder if you don't use the number 0.

Rfk knows one of those words. But he doesn't know they're Arabic words.
