If you’ve got something you want to find a place for, ask yourself, “If I was looking for this, where is the first place I would look?” I’ve ended up changing where I keep things because sure, it might havd been in a logical place, but it wasn’t where I would think to look. It’s not foolproof, but it helps.

Newton wasn’t the only one who developed calculus. Leibnitz developed it independently around the same time, and both of them had prior mathematicians’ work to base their work on. If it weren’t for Newton, we would still have calculus.

That said, we can acknowledge Newton’s mathematical and scientific achievements while still acknowledging problematic or terrible things that he also did. We don’t need to whitewash history in order to recognize someone’s achievements.

Dude.
