OT - I can't even begin to imagine what you mean by either "the" natural order or even "restored".

I simply meant that it will likely take a very significant calamity to return our focus to rudimentary concepts rather than "politically correct" ones. (e.g. A person won't be too concerned about someone making "insensitive remarks," if their primary hardship in life is determining where their next meal is coming from or how they can obtain clean water to drink.)

>New Math

What's that? To my knowledge, Murray and Herrnstein did not employ number theory or set theory (the fundaments of "the" New Math) in their argument .

Math is never invented, just discovered, contra the absurd, modernist conceits that underlay the teaching of "New Math" in the 60s and 70s.
