@mathematicsprof The book is AI slop and it sucks ass! No substitute for Vi Hart videos, like about Pythagoras or logarithms (i can only find them on vimeo now)
@mathematicsprof@educationweek Be advised @educationweek, I bought this book because I've appreciated this math prof's commentary before, but it is awful. It is long, the animations and story are lifeless, and its design is unfriendly to children. Vi Hart has made many videos that remain wonderful for kids
Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
@minilek The real disappointment is that someone with good ideas about STEM and the education system like you is failing to grasp the colonialist history of Israel, the basic context from which Gazans lashed out from their concentration camp, or how to resolve between Jews and Zionists
