Math is its own language.

Math is its own language.

When I worked in the hinterlands of China in the mid 70s, my interpreter couldn't translate a lick of technical jargon. So I spoke to my Chinese counterpart (who didn't speak English) in technical and chemical equations. It worked perfectly. It wasn't White-Centric Math or Chinese-Centric Chemistry or Anglo Centric Combustion. It was just the fundamental truths of the universe in elegant common language. We would write equations on a pad, pass them back and forth, and agree or disagree, nodding and occasionally laughing. Worked beautifully.

Are these idiots somehow going to destroy that?
