Scholars work at ‘Decolonizing Light’ to combat ‘colonialism in contemporary physics’
The College Fix ^ | December 14, 2022 | DANIEL NUCCIO - NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY

A group of scholars at Concordia University in Montreal have dedicated themselves to “Decolonizing Light.”

The effort is not about banning flashlights, but rather advancing other ways of knowing about light, science and physics.

The group’s tagline is “Tracing and countering colonialism in contemporary physics.”

The effort, funded by the Canadian government, seeks both to explore “ways and approaches to decolonize science, such as revitalizing and restoring Indigenous knowledges” and to develop “a culture of critical reflection and investigation of the relation of science and colonialism,” according to the project’s website.

Led by Tanja Tajmel, a special equity, diversity and inclusion advisor to Concordia’s dean, core members of the group also include physicist Ingo Salzmann and Associate Professor of First Peoples Studies Louellyn White.

Hell they dont even get V=IR

Truth ... but headline was about light, so I went for it.

And it's even worse ... Not only did they not work out "V=IR", they didn't even work out a way of expressing ideas that allows you to say "V=IR".

The Indians (dot type) invented that. The Arabs stole it from them, then traded it to White Europeans. White Europeans saw what you can really do with mathematics, and it was off to the races. Here we are ... with some over-educated, under-intelligent White European (ironically) bimbo trying to destroy the work of her ancestors. Ungrateful bitch ...

I have a certain respect for the Sentinelese. They know something about border security. We should learn from them.

Does it seem to you that the lunacy in the world is accelerating?

What a complete waste of time and money. In a sane world, these people would be laughed out of town.

In a telephone interview with The College Fix, Wayne recounted an indigenous myth about how a shape-shifting raven returned light to the world after the sun and the moon were taken by a powerful chief.

Now THAT’S science!

I would like for there to be a country of “far right” white people only.

No dreams of globalist domination, just stay away or we’ll destroy you all.
It’s obvious we can’t “just get along” per Rodney King.

Well, we are halfway there with gender identification and associated mutilations.

I guess that Shamans and human sacrifices will be part of physics education.

“In this lab experiment we shall sacrifice three virgins to appease the Sun God...”

“Show me the “indigenous culture” that produced anything nearly as useful as these statements:”

Calculus is clearly racist and essentially is exactly like the magic substance vibranium in black panther that is jealously guarded to keep away from everybody else
