Fred Reed \u2013 The Unz Review Jan 6, 2019<\/h1>\n

One often sees the silly assertion by right-wing extremists that feminists, social justice warriors, and other \u201ccranks\u201d are enstupidating American education. The purpose, according to these fascists, who are just like Hitler, is \u201cto make historically incompetent groups look competent.\u201d The racism in these absurd claims is obvious. In particular such Neo-Nazis say that mathematical education is being destroyed to benefit \u201cretards.\u201d This \u201cdumbing down,\u201d they say, will hand the future to China.<\/h5>\n
This is conservative drivel. Nothing suggests that China is gaining on the US in science and technology, except the evidence, and this can be ignored. It is particularly important to keep in mind that the Chinese cannot innovate, only copy American technology.<\/h5>\n
\"Harvard-MIT<\/a>

universities. Asia cannot match this. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

Face it: America\u2019s young are the brightest in the world and attend the most advanced schools in the United States, the country that everybody wants to be like and live in. These youngsters will maintain American scientific preeminence through the strength of diversity. Anyone who doubts this can note that the Harvard-MIT math wizards are almost one hundred percent diverse. The Chinese cannot keep up with this degree of talent. Especially since they cannot innovate.<\/h5>\n
I hate to use this phrase, but it fits\u2013conservative lunatics overvalue elitist subjects pervaded by racism and sexism, such as engineering, math, and information technology. Theirs is a narrow view, and does not recognize the value of human elements, such as safe spaces. Experts acknowledge that American safe spaces are safer than Chinese safe spaces. In fact some indications suggest that Chinese universities do not even have safe spaces, so you can imagine how dangerous they are.<\/h5>\n
\"America\u2019s<\/a>

With minds like those above on our side, America has nothing to fear from a pack of funny-looking Asiatics who can\u2019t innovate. All several billion of them.<\/h5>\n
Crispr bombshell<\/span>:<\/a> Chinese researcher claims to have created gene-edited twins.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
While alarmists point to this as evidence of Chinese capacity in advanced research, it is in fact evidence of their inferiority. Crispr (Clustered Regularly Intersperse Palindromc Repeats) was invented by a pair of Western women. Consequently anything the Chinese do with it is derivative and not to be taken seriously. Sure, a fundamentally primitive country can get lucky. There is nothing to worry about.<\/h5>\n
China Shatters <\/a><\/span>\u201cSpooky Action at a Distance\u201d Record, Preps for Quantum Internet<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cIn a landmark study, a team of Chinese scientists using an experimental satellite has tested quantum entanglement over unprecedented distances, beaming entangled pairs of photons to three ground stations across China\u2014each separated by more than 1,200 kilometers.\u201d<\/h5>\n
This is just an example of China\u2019s outmoded male linear thinking, obviously sexist and probably transphobic. While the Chinese focus on tour de force<\/em> gimmicks, American universities never lose sight of their primary task of getting rid of Confederate statues. These offend students who can\u2019t spell \u201cConfederacy.\u201d The inability of American students to do eighth-grade algebra is probably a result of these statues: China, with no Confederate statues at all, does well mathematically. Anyway, mathematics is elitist and should be replaced by cooperative games led by a caring adult.<\/h5>\n
There is good news for those interested in social justice: American universities are de-emphasizing mathematics in fields like astronomy to encourage the entrance of women and people of color into the hard sciences. This policy is clearly necessary for social justice. The need is made obvious by the lack of students of color in the photographs above. The result will be a flood of black, Hispanic, and female scientists who, by sheer numbers, will overcome a lack of talent. They will overwhelm their Chinese competition through socially progressive inclusiveness.<\/h5>\n
The Chinese, notoriously racists and sexists, cannot achieve this democratization as they admit only the \u201cbrightest\u201d students through biased IQ tests. By contrast, America is unleashing the power of its morons.<\/h5>\n
Chinese Researchers<\/a><\/span> Achieve Stunning Quantum-Entanglement Record<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cScientists have just packed 18 qubits\u2014the most basic units of quantum computing\u2014into just six weirdly connected photons. That\u2019s an unprecedented three qubits per photon, and a record for the number of qubits linked to one another via quantum entanglement.\u201d<\/h5>\n
It is fortunate for the United States that the Chinese cannot innovate. Anyway, quantum computing is just a fad. Yes, they can manufacture washing machines and even assemble iPhones with white supervision, but the squinty-eyed little bastards cannot invent things. They steal all their technology which invariably originates in the West. Cars, airplanes, and computers were all invented by white Europeans. Asians can make little paper umbrellas for expensive drinks but nothing more challenging.<\/h5>\n
\"More<\/a>

More evidence of the superiority of Americans: The 2016 World Champion Math Olympiad Team\u2013Ankan Bhattacharya, Allen Liu, Ashwin Sah, Michael Kural, Yuan Yao, Junyao Peng, and coach Po-Shen.<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite right-wing alarms, America\u2019s lead in the sciences is not in peril. In both 2016 and 2018, the United States, not China, won the world championship. As inclusiveness increases in American universities, with admission of anything arguably a primate, and more women and minorities of color go into mathematical fields, US superiority will increase.<\/h5>\n
China Drives<\/a><\/span> International Patent Applications to Record Heights; Demand Rising for Trademark and Industrial Design<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cChina moved into the second position as a source of international patent applications filed via WIPO in 2017, closing in on long-time leader United States of America, in another record year in the use of WIPO\u2019s intellectual property services for patents, trademarks and industrial designs.\u201d<\/h5>\n
This is nothing to worry about. These patents must be of low quality, since the Chinese can\u2019t invent anything, and were probably stolen in the first place. American education is far ahead in all fields of importance, especially its policies regarding transgender bathrooms, which in the course of things will be more important than definite integrals, whatever those are.<\/h5>\n
China<\/a> <\/span>is developing a new laser satellite meant to hunt down submarines more than 1,600 feet underwater<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Trivial. We already know where our submarines are. We don\u2019t need lasers to find them.<\/h5>\n
Huawei<\/a> <\/span>introduces world\u2019s first 5G-ready 7nm mobile chipset, Kirin 980<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cChinese tech giant <\/a><\/span>Huawei on Friday unveiled the world\u2019s first \u201c5G<\/span> <\/a>solution-ready\u201d commercial 7nm (nanometre) chipset Kirin 980 which is believed to be the most powerful smartphone SoC (system-on-a-chip) equipped with Artificial Intelligence(AI) capabilities.\u201d The chipset will be manufactured by TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, making it an all-Chinese show.<\/h5>\n
Here is more reason for thinking that China is behind the West. It can make only little tiny seven-namometer\u2013well, whatever those things are. But you can bet America can make much bigger ones.<\/h5>\n
China<\/a><\/span> is working on a fleet of drone submarines to launch a new era of sea power<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cChina is developing large, smart and relatively low-cost unmanned submarines that can roam the world\u2019s oceans to perform a wide range of missions, from reconnaissance to mine placement to even suicide attacks against enemy vessels, according to scientists involved in these artificial intelligence (AI) projects.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The obsession with those torpedo thingies, obviously phallic symbols, is so\u2026male. But enough said. The position of America, exceptional, indispensable, is secure and will remain so for centuries to come.<\/h5>\n
