(2,262 posts)And the acquisition of Reason was by no means automatic, even for the west; western cultures fought for the clarification and development of Reason and Logic, over thousands of years (c. 300 BC to the present).
It is therefore not patronizing to suggest that minority cultures that score exceedingly low on SAT tests, could have their scores greatly increased; if Logic and Reason were actively taught to them at childhood. Rather than magical thinking; pray-and-get miracles.
Reason is an acquisition, a struggle, for ALL of us. For people to learn it, it always must be taught. For all of us.
And yet clearly it is not being taught as well as it should be in many minority populations.
And the main reason for that, is Religion.
By the way? Calling someone "Miocene" is a gross and foolish insult. Simply using it, condemns the speaker. With her own language. It is simple name-calling. Not logic or reason.
Okasha? Never in my life have I seen a person more clearly condemning herself. By her very insults directed at others.
