4. The lectures, Charles Mills and Gobineau, demonstrated that during the "enlightenment" of Europe and thereafter, there was much that European thinkers (philosophers, anatomists, "anthropologists") truly misunderstood, omitted, overlooked, forgot or distorted... some examples: the anatomists depicted other "races" in truly ridiculous ways, the amount of inhabitants were completely miscalculated (as though 10 "natives" counted for one), even ideas like the high threshold of pain that natives were said to have, genocides against so many, so many non-white peoples were simply forgotten buried in the "useless knowledge" of history, etc... Mills calls this phenomenon an "epistemology of forgetfulness" (epistemology here refers to how we know what we know), or "white moral cognitive disorder. Why did this forgetting, misinterpreting, misrepresenting happen? How can we rationalize this? How does it make sense (and it does make sense), and what are some of its contemporary repercussions?
