@panhandlehoops @sf_mills @sfchronicle “anti math zealot”

[Pirate Wires @PirateWires]

A few weeks ago, hardly anyone had heard of Mentava, an education technology startup @NielsHoven founded in 2021. The company was two years out from their seed fundraise, and more than a year away from their planned launch.

But then, a single individual came into their orbit and radically accelerated their timeline overnight — a San Francisco anti-math zealot named Emily Mills. She had tweeted screenshots of their fundraise deck, and captioned it with: “Why do these folks want kids learning math so fast?”

In a threaded tweet, she highlighted a post from Niels on Hacker News where he argued that accelerating learning could get humanity closer to curing cancer, faster. “They want their labor and productivity to 'accelerate human achievement,’” Emily complained.

Emily's thread soon went viral. But it completely backfired on her.

Today on Pirate Wires, Niels tells the story of Mentava’s best marketer, how she singlehandedly drove massive growth for his company, and what it was like inside the company during this transformational moment.

that perpetrators of this ideology continue to silence parents and their critical role in their public participation of their children’s education.

Friends of Lowell Foundation stands side by side with Eli Steele (@Hebro_Steele) and Man of Steele Productions over the latest controversy and attempts to censor the film Killing America: Can The Nation’s Schools Be Saved.

[Friends of Lowell @FriendsofLowell]

—parents don’t feel they have a voice in their children’s education anymore (https://t.co/m45eBFNu7e), and when a film is produced to highlight the factually incorrect ideology that is foisted upon our students (e.g., “According to the U.N., Israel is an illegal state”),

[Friends of Lowell @FriendsofLowell]

It is clearly an attempt to censor both the trailer and the film itself. This attempt will fail. It speaks to the very issue that Diana Blum, M.D. (Lowell Class of 1995, nee Portnoy) points out—

[Friends of Lowell @FriendsofLowell]

The allegations of copyright infringement by Menlo-Atherton Chronicle against Man of Steele Productions are over the use of a heavily processed 2 second clip (from a nearly 2 minute original distributed to multiple media outlets of a public event) are completely devoid of merit.
