Auron MacIntyre wrote an article on this: “Clown World as a Uniform”. The thesis is that it these things are a loyalty statement to the regime. It would be way too easy for disloyal people to say true and sensible things, so you test subjects’ loyalty by making say bizarre shit that will ostracize normal people. It’s also a way to make loyal subjects totally separate themselves from the normal people in their lives by marking themselves as crazy and absolutely loyal to the regime’s wildest narratives.

98 or 100 or even less does not matter, as long as you graduate and even that does not matter as much as what research you do and contribute in your final year.
And while I hate shitskins and dumb progressive retards like your instructor as much as the next person, her suggestion is not actually bad, there have been non white persons who contributed to field of mathematics, in a sense non whites think differently and studying their thought processes is really useless in any other field, however in mathematics a different way of thinking about maths (and just being exposed to it) is beneficial, just for this assignment you should drop your preconceptions and explore the (the very small) world of non white mathematicians, it might be beneficial and even if you gain nothing from it will then just strenghten and reinforce your views on non whites.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

I have never seen a school with this problem before.

A very long time ago I was a teenage pacifist. I had a math professor who I asked if there was a field of mathematics which could not be weaponized or used for weapons development. He told me that any form of science or engineering or even formal notation can be weaponized or used for weapons development, and that he hoped that I took what I learned from him and used it to make something to kill large numbers of Russian people with.

Dr. Cold War weirdo was way more representative of the people I met in math/cs than anything approaching feminism.

Huh yeah this method is a dead end.
You have atheists who claim that immaterial math formulas they themselves invented run the material universe every millisecond across billions of light years, since 13 billions years ago LOL. how is this not retarded.
Oh and by the way, when they are asked to say where do those immaterial formulas live and where they come from and how they act on matter, they can't fucking answer, can they?
Ask an atheist how a photon, stemming from the annihilation of an electrons and a positron , knows that it has to follow Maxwell's rules, as soon as the photon comes into existence whereas what they call ''physical laws'' are not found inside their tiny particles (inside particles there are just other particles lmao who scripted this crap).... Just ask him. And I can tell you what you will observe, because it's true cause and effect: the atheist will be in his most vulnerable state, drymouthed, sweating profusely, hands trembling, in a state of intense anguish, because he knows he has no comeback. Zero. Jack shit. At this point in time, the atheist is consumed by a fear that is darker than the terror of death, which will never leave him until he dies.
You know how atheists say a bunch of deformed illiterate inbreds rolling in shit, beating their children and women anthropomorphized Nature when they said gods were an amalgamation of the base fears of early humans. Well since the day a few atheist bugmen created computers, they are saying the universe is like their computers too, but bigger lol. That's their big brain idea and that's how dumb atheists are lol.
