AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:
Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice

The association of cognitive ability with right-wing ideological attitudes and prejudice: A meta-analytic review.

    I would say it wouldn’t hurt but it’s like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let’s see how this pans out, I guess?

            It’s base 60 actually. With up to 5 𒌋 meaning 10 followed by up to 9 𒁹 meaning one. I actually should have put a space between the 60s place and the 1s place and formatted it as: 𒁹 𒌋𒌋𒌋𒌋

            It’s a lot easier to read in clay because you bunch the characters up within their place, and if it were used in modern day it would likely be autocorrected to make it easier

              yeah, seeing the symbols spread out across multiple characters makes it hard to tell whether that’s 100 or something else (considering i learned counting in cuneiform just this moment)

      I was honestly surprised when I visited Egypt for the first time and discovered they have different symbols for numbers in Arabic. Also, they look kind of the same as the one used with Latin alphabet, but there are some tricks like ٥ is 5 and ٦ is 6, so yeah … you have to learned them, you can’t just guess.
