Resumo

A recente politização da matemática tem levado a questões sobre sua pedagogia nas escolas dos Estados Unidos, mas essas questões falham em reconhecer a matemática como uma ferramenta potencialmente opressiva. Neste ensaio, demonstro que há forças muito maiores à mão que melhoram a maneira como as pessoas pensam sobre a matemática e como as pessoas a consideram em suas vidas é muito mais valioso. Aqui, exploro brevemente três eras distintas de desenvolvimento matemático que produziram três respostas culturais distintas. O primeiro é Fibonacci, cujo trabalho foi geralmente aceito e evitou críticas. O próximo é Galileu, um matemático que enfrentou um retrocesso significativo e cuja pesquisa e progresso foram interrompidos e banidos. Em seguida, examino os Estados Unidos e destaco a capacidade de um governo de obter o controle das estruturas matemáticas sem a capacidade de sufocar completamente a publicação e a pesquisa. Vou traçar um arco através dessas três eras distintas para concluir a maneira mais eficaz de desmantelar estruturas de poder baseadas na matemática: um esforço mútuo para nivelar hierarquias que envolvem igualmente aqueles que estão no poder e aqueles que estão à mercê da própria estrutura.
