I already know the trans agenda is to let trans soldiers fight, but what's the math agenda? I want in.
The "Math Agenda" boils down to the idea that every subject is in is supposedly being used to push the LGBT agenda.
This is what they are freaking out about:

And this is them freaking out about it:

Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they'll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.
Maybe that's what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.
Had to share a work van with one of these sort for work. I would get an hour of details on how math is just "a trick to make people believe certain things"
Also "Jews are from Saturn"
And "the chemtrails are full of microchips"
There is literally nothing you can do to sway any of their beliefs, because basic reason and logic are the enemy.
Rather, maybe we need to subvert their base instincts in a way they can turn them towards logic despite their preconceptions and inability to process basic information. Kind of like the mobile game market or unethical media companies which have free reign to influence these people for malicious self gain.
The issue is that ethical people are too upstanding to use such subversive means, which means they will ultimately lose out in our current socio-economic ecosystem
I think smart people need to fight evil with the same tools used by evil, until such tools are invalidated.
How do you tell which group is using those tools for good and evil?
Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to kill them all and let the historians sort them out.
You reminded me I need to get my COVID booster. My 5G signal is weak.
