@nickshirleyy have a hard time believing you did everything out of a genuine humanitarian goal - the blockade is not new, it's been ongoing for decades. 60 years under embargo.

DECOLONISING MATHS AND SCIENCE
Flicking through typical maths and science textbooks, you often get the impression that all the great discoveries were made by White European men - thanks to the fact they’re mostly named after White men! This then reinforces the illusion that Western civilisation is more advanced than other civilisations.
However, once you start decolonising the history of maths and science, it quickly becomes clear that many of the big theorems and laws had already been discovered long ago by non-Western cultures (not forgetting also that women often played key roles long brushed over).
Take Pythagoras’ Theorem - a bedrock of geometry and physics. Why is it ‘his’ theorem when the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians had worked it out long before him? But that’s just the tip of the ice berg.
In this clip, Instagram’s self-declared ‘cool fact sharer’ @humantenleven takes us on a lightning tour of theorems, laws, identities and principles that should all, really, be renamed in honour of non-Westerners. It’s not so much about priority, even - but, as he notes, a (currently missed) opportunity to learn more about other cultures.
