      Non-Western followers, huddle around, I’ll tell you secret: Western power was built on mathematics. That’s it. Not ‘political freedom’. Not the ‘scientific method’ (induction). But mathematics applied to astronomy, cartography, art, engineering, etc. There’s nothing else to it.

      mathematics wasn't even that useful for engineering until 20th century... even then inventing e.g. the airplane involves zero math... and Europe's maritime global trade and colonization have nothing to do with math... what does this person even have in mind as a single example

      No idea. In the replies he seems to massively underrate mathematical prominence and achievement during the Islamic golden age. Total mess.

      Looking over list of historical inventions I don't see a single one that required any math at all until arguably electromagnetic stuff in early-mid 19th century, by which point Europe was already quite wealthy from colonialism

      If nothing else artillery, metallurgy, steam power, clockmaking, and naval warfare and logistics aren’t exactly mathematics free

          welp it looks like I've been Owned in that one of the biggest advantages of Europe does seem to have been made possible pretty directly by math knowledge
