Harvard tweets 2+2 = 5 . This only part of why we must purge academia of all Marxists, Post-Modernists and SJWs.

It's more about SJWs doing SJW things. 2+2=5 was a meme based on them changing objective things like in 1984. SJWs had to take up a position to defend it. They need to convince everyone that woke thoughts are more valid than objective reasoning.
Anybody can believe in the truth, having somebody believe a lie is a show of faith and power.
Orwell was very on point with the language he invented for 1984. Doublethink, believing two contradictory things at the same time. Crimestop, having your brain shut down thoughts before this doublethink is fully examined. Thoughtcrime, being able to think freely and do things like doubt your own doublethink and the regime.
These people know exactly what they're doing and the people under them are useful idiots. When you point out the connections to Orwell, first they will deny them saying "We're talking about something totally different!" and then later they will embrace them saying "IngSoc is more moral than capitalism at least!"
And forcing people to openly support obvious lies is intensely demoralizing.
You're completely wrong.
This is the essence of the intellectual elite who are actually very intelligent and are used to making wildly complicated abstract rhetorical arguments about how if you re-define and re-analyze everything in just the right way, then they are right.
It's mental masturbation to the extreme, and you actually have to be pretty intelligent to do it.
You know what they say: people who get their laughs by pretending to be retarded will soon be joined by actual retards who think they are in good company.
I wonder how long it will take.
I think we've clearly passed that point. But they're not all retards, probably 50-50 between intelligent fraudsters and genuine retards.
If you're talking about the broader movement including the useful idiot footsoldiers... it's way more like 80-20 in favour of retards IMO. Certainly weak-minded and easily led/cowed if not retarded.
Oh god no. The broader movement is 95-5 retards-frauds. I'm just talking about the University.
I'd say you also need more than a hint of sociopathy to actually go through with all this re-defining, because at the end of the day it's nothing more than lying (to yourself) and normal people do not like to lie.
The ability to lie and manipulate is also a highly intellectual act that requires a good deal of abstraction. This isn't to say you can't have dumb pathological liars. But to be any good at it, you need to be at least clever.
This is just trickery. The author is modeling two different problems. The first is "If I have 1 rooster and 1 hen, I have 2 chickens in all." The other is "If I had 2 adult chickens last year and they have 1 chick, I have 3 chickens in all."
Alternatively, you could consider it hidden information. "If I have 1 rooster and 1 hen, and they have 1 chick, I have 3 chickens."
In any case, if we allow this kind of thinking, 1+1 = Any positive integer or 0.
It's not "trickery" - he's arguing for SUBJECTIVE math where "facts" can mean different things depending upon "context". Y'know like... race... or sex... or whatever the communists into thought control want you to believe today. The point is to take away your agency. YOU are never qualified to form your own opinion as to what is real - those in charge will tell you citizen.
That's why there's "57 genders" (with new ones being discovered every day). That's why Feminists are now evil if they don't believe that men are women.
It's not about truth or objectivity anymore - it's all about destabilizing the populace and to keep changing the narrative so that they either give up or slovenly follow the edicts from on high.
Don't let them know Euler used pi everything he did with circles. They'll want to replace 3.14 with a black number.
You've heard the story about how a state government wanted to change Pi from 3.14 to just "3" because they thought that would make math easier for children?
The bill was written and it had the votes to pass until a mathematician stepped in during a recess and the bill was tabled on return from recess.
That is unsurprising. Our schools are cancer. We need tanks in Harvard Yard.
I'd support the voiding of all academic degrees. What were they really used for? Pretty much just to make an appeal to authority in order to convince a potential employer that you know your stuff. The paper only offers a guarantee that you cleared your curriculum credits, even a straight D student can do that. There's no guarantee that they had decent teachers or any sort of standardization in their testing (and even standardization doesn't prevent it from being the old memorization test that tests only short term learning).
I'd much prefer individual employers being responsible for the testing of aptitude and knowledge in every potential employee. If the employer's one of the lazy fucks that doesn't even check references after asking for them, they can just give a dummy test with multiple choice answers to reflect their own investment.
Though I imagine some points of failure in this, such as there being enough lazy fucks to make a market for outsourcing their aptitude tests, then those third parties homogenizing their testing to open up a diploma system where you can take a test once and be cleared for all future tests. Or some anti-discrimination legislature being passed to restrict what is allowed to be tested. I know, it's no perfect solution.
Worst case scenario, we end up back where we started and burn all the certificates again.
"If I disregard units, then it's perfectly correct!"
Except anything you are measuring objectively needs units. Furthermore, he's changing what addition even means.
"If I make two chickens fuck I can get a third chicken!"
Addition doesn't mean fucking. It means combining two sets of units into a single set of units which represents the summation of the previous sets.
This really is the Crockoduck of the modern times.
"If mathematics is real, then why does this banana fit perfectly up my ass? Checkmate, atheists!"
That's almost like saying a pun has deep philosophical meaning because it can convey two meanings in one phrase.
First article:
We're all going to die. It won't even be coronavirus, our medical systems are just going to collapse and half of us will die from not getting the medication and treatment we need while the other half will die from being subjected to medications and treatments that they don't need and shouldn't get.
250,000+ people die every year from medical error.
Fixed a medial typo there.
Also note that those are the known errors. It doesn't take into account the deaths that were almost certainly caused by the medical establishment giving the public bad dietary advice for 4 decades. This has still not been fixed. That number is likely in the millions.
How many people die from spelling medical wrong?
Using sophistry and thinking using modular math is somehow the same as what people normally use.
Big brain Harvard.
So no one noticed that the tweet put 2+2+5 instead of =5?
I noticed, but with the level of utter retardation they are going with, how the hell are we supposed to even know that that's a typo?
Why wouldn't they make that claim?
"How do I know that 2+2 = 4? Why can't I just say 9?"
"You mean 2+2 = 9?"
"No, just 9. If 2+2=4, and 2+2+5, why not 9?"
"What are you even saying?"
Holy shit snacks!

This is what they do for everything, they ask you a question, and then when you respond they change the question. Really, 2+2 can equal 3, if either 2 has experienced quantum death of any of its parts leaving it to be 1.9 with repeating nines which can in some cases be functionally 2, and of course can be rounded down according to some rounding methods. Anyone who changes the question on you like this is operating in bad faith and had no other intention but to humiliate others with big words.
tldr; sophistry
Harvard Public Health... well, this explains all the coronavirus doomer bullshit.
I think, In just a few years, students looking for REAL education instead of this woke shit will have to Universities abroad - maybe even China.
2 + 2 = 5, but only after one redefines axioms and definitions to force that square peg into a round hole.
At the end of the day, though, one would still end up with the same concept, even if the method used to express that concept is different.
So, while it's true that if one, say, swaps the definitions of "4" and "5" to make 2 + 2 = 5, one hasn't actually changed anything in any meaningful way. Reality stands unbowed.
What they are trying to do with this propaganda is instil doubt. The goal is:
You read it, and think it's stupid. (2+2=5 is obviously incorrect)
They go through belaboured intellectual hoops to show otherwise. It's broken down into a series of steps where the stupidity is harder to locate. (2+2=5 if you assume 4=5 or some stupid shit)
You have subconsciously accepted that you might be wrong to trust your own intuition.
You are now more ready to be controlled.
Did he study under esteemed actor and mathematician Terrence Howard? Terrence made some of these fantastic mathematical discoveries several years ago and detailed them, first to Oxford and then to the gals on The View.

They are doing that with pronouns and genders and all that bullshit. They put something completely ridiculous and then they rationalize it to a large audience, out of that audience you can a good amount of people to accept it and then normalize it. Is hard sometimes to remain sane in to all of this.
Gotta have NewMath to go with the NewSpeak.
Is this ironic? Satire? Jocular? This can't be fucking real.
This is literally something ingsoc did.
"Have you ever thought to yourself, "why isn't my dick a vagina?""
We're really through the looking glass on this one.
everyone knows 2 + 2 = 6
In the words of the wise Big Shaq "2 + 2 is 4 - 1 that's 3! Quick mafs!"
Oh, it's THAT guy.
Jesus, I just checked the profile and this was near the top.

This is beyond parody.
