Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Confronted by Charges That Woke Leftist SJWs Would Imitate Big Brother In Insisting That 2+2 =5, Woke Leftist SJWs Actually Do Start Arguing That 2+2 does Equal 5, If That's How You Feel About ItWhen "2+2=5" starts being used as a meme on Twitter, and leftwing NPCs are charged with believing this formulation from 1984, you might think that leftists would say, "We don't believe in any such nonsense, and shame on you for claiming that." That would be one way to play it. Leftists did not choose to play it that way. Instead, they decided to argue that 2+2 actually does sum to 5, for some people, if they feel like that's what it equals.

What you can't fix is willful stubborn refusal to see reality. The universe deals with reality. Always. Anyone who can't accept that or claims something different is either lying or headed for some very bad situations. Eventually it catches up to you.

Their whole ideology depends on being what the empirically minded world would classify as "delusional." Let that sink in for a minute - it's not the exception or the small fraction that have detached themselves from empirically observable truth, but a ideological mandate (or dogma to use an approprutate religious term) that you must assent to in order to be part of the "woke" group.
These people aren't a political faction - they are in truth a delusional mob. They aren't a political faction- they are a godless hedonistic cult who's only value is their current pleasure and freedom from facing anything they would find displeasing. They aren't a political faction - they are a mindless mob who wishes to burn everything down that in any way opposes their delusional fantasy world. Through social pressure they are creating a giant mass media fueled batch of sociopathic schizophrenics - not only do they not belong in any political office, they belong in a mental institution. The societal cost of this mass mental illness will go down in history if there is anyone sane enough to appraise it in the future as the Salem witch trials * 1 Billion.

You know, the world is complicated. We try to make sense of it through abstraction. Abstraction requires correct inputs to work properly. Let's take an example of "2+2 does not always equal 4" pseudo-thought:
"If I have two apples, and add two pears, I have neither four apples nor four pears. Two plus two does not equal four in this case." No one said that the act of addition manifests itself as transmogrification. That is preposterous, and they know it. Yet the pick a lower order of abstraction - a specific type of fruit - over the higher order of abstraction - like "fruit" or "plant life" or even, at it's highest level, "thing" - in order to try to invalidate the racism inherent in mathematics. But in so doing, the break the very notions of abstraction that make our advanced life and minds possible. I don't think they know that they're doing it, but shit like this destroys the ability of an intelligent creature like a man to make sense of the world. This is a regression to the state of an animal, wrapped in pseudo-intellectual academic prattle.

Human centered? I personally rejected that the center means the focus of something. Before you marginalize me, I am just asking a question. What if the "center" is really on the outside looking in, and to be human-centered is to actually be completely exclusionary to humans. Which means by attempting *not* to be human centered, you are inadvertently making humans the singular focus of your entire study.

They were accused of being cultists of Big Brother, and rather than disputing that, they argue that Big Brother has a Plan for all of us and should be obeyed without question.
"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the mandated mask. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his mask. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. :He loved Big Brother." Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at August 04, 2020 02:45 PM (2JVJo) 105
in hexidecimal, 22 = 34 in decimal. so...2 in hex is 2 in decimal and 2+2 in hex is 22, 2+2 can also equal 34.

I do not consent to having a boot stomped on my face - forever.
I am late to the party today. Concerning the communist Bass, it is my firm belief that any 'community organizer' is fit for jobs of a custodial or Milton/collating nature. I just came back from voting today in the sometimes great State of Michigan. The ladies at my polling place had clear face shields on, and one table had a plastic sheet in front of it. I made a crack about body suits next, and mentioned the punchline about sliding food under the door. There was one other person voting when I was there. I was number forty-five, six hours in. It was primary day here, and for me, there was only one contested race (it is mostly R here - some positions were not even contested by the Ds). I carried a mask, but refused to actually put it on, going halfway and just holding it up to my face when necessary. I asked Mrs. DIG if looping my mask around my middle finger can be considered wearing it. Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at August 04, 2020 02:47 PM (ufFY8) 122

You can't build theory upon theory, which is what critical race theory (in the math prof example) tries to accomplish.
Because there is no objective truth to center the discussion, you end up in this weird world where only deconstruction is possible. The post modernists understood this, but then the critical race theorists tried anyway and what we ended up with is 2+2=5. It's turtles all the way down.

"OK, here, I'll count them out for you in groups of two: 2, 4. Done. Here they are -- now you give me a 5-dollar bill." "Wait -- you only gave me four dollars." "Nope -- by your own statement, 2+2 can equal 5. I say this pile of ones equals five. Give me the five-dollar bill, or you are RACIST for insisting that 2+4 equals 4." RACIST!!!!"

92 You know, the world is complicated. We try to make sense of it through abstraction. Abstraction requires correct inputs to work properly. Let's take an example of "2+2 does not always equal 4" pseudo-thought:
"If I have two apples, and add two pears, I have neither four apples nor four pears. Two plus two does not equal four in this case." No one said that the act of addition manifests itself as transmogrification. That is preposterous, and they know it. Yet the pick a lower order of abstraction - a specific type of fruit - over the higher order of abstraction - like "fruit" or "plant life" or even, at it's highest level, "thing" - in order to try to invalidate the racism inherent in mathematics. But in so doing, the break the very notions of abstraction that make our advanced life and minds possible. I don't think they know that they're doing it, but shit like this destroys the ability of an intelligent creature like a man to make sense of the world. This is a regression to the state of an animal, wrapped in pseudo-intellectual academic prattle. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 04, 2020 02:44 PM (hYcqw) This is correct.

This infuriates me, especially the sophistry of the "two apples plus two oranges" arguments, and the idiocy about different bases, ie, in base 4, 2 + 2 = 10. The latter is the same statement, just using different bases and different symbols. Same damn statement. And the former is ridiculous. You've got 4 total objects. Yes, you can classify things and subdivide and all that, but you impose order on such things by using objective, rigorous definitions and rules. This assault on objectivity has been going on for a long time. I remember reading one RadFem claiming that Newton's Principia was a "rape manual", for rape of mother nature. Gaia didn't give her consent for probing of her secrets. These people are pure destroyers. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at August 04, 2020 02:56 PM (rCwaK) 212

This is the sort of thing that makes arithmetic guys' heads spin, and then they get very angry. Math is theoretical, a mental exercise, a branch of a branch of philosophy, and yes you can redefine values within it. Wittgenstein was famous for it (making heads spin), and there is nothing new about it.
Some people who work in "applied mathematics" day after day tend to forget that the operations they are doing are not, in fact, really math. They are following formats and algorithms defined or suggested by math functions, but mathematics is not the physical world, and you should never be surprised by this. In the long run of stuff, one of the advantages in using mathematical thinking to predict problem solutions is that you can do those bizarre tricks, and change values and operations. Here we see a popular moral failing of lower-grade thinkers. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at August 04, 2020 03:01 PM (8IOEj) 258

A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle are claiming that they're being priced out of their civil rights by the prohibitive costs of defending themselves against police violence.
The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court alleges that the repeated use of force by the Seattle Police Department has made it impossible for them to exercise their right to protest without pricey personal protective gear. "Because protesters now must purchase expensive equipment to be assured that they will be able to protest safely, the indiscriminate use of weapons by SPD implicates equal protection," the lawsuit says.

A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle are claiming that they're being priced out of their civil rights by the prohibitive costs of defending themselves against police violence.
The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court alleges that the repeated use of force by the Seattle Police Department has made it impossible for them to exercise their right to protest without pricey personal protective gear. "Because protesters now must purchase expensive equipment to be assured that they will be able to protest safely, the indiscriminate use of weapons by SPD implicates equal protection," the lawsuit says.

"In the long run of stuff, one of the advantages in using mathematical thinking to predict problem solutions is that you can do those bizarre tricks, and change values and operations. Here we see a popular moral failing of lower-grade thinkers.
Posted by: Way, Way Downriver" This is all true, as far as it goes. Math is a branch of philosophy, wherein you work within an accepted set of rules to solve the proposed problem with numbers. If we were to stick with that definition, NBD. But, that definition is uselessly pedantic for everyone who doesn't give a fuck about advanced math (and that is almost everyone). Like language, Math is a way we define and communicate the world around us. If we, willy-nilly, decide that word mean something other than what most of us think they mean, Language is useless. Just like if we decide that the values of 2 and 5 and the operation of + has a whole new definition, Math becomes nearly useless in the real world. So, if you are trying to say "Math is a fun way to beat off while describing how smart I am in numbers", good job. If you want to advance the idea of "Math is a very useful tool to describe the real world", you have really missed the mark. Posted by: mrshad at August 04, 2020 03:14 PM (IJsa1) 377

There are superb instructional series and textbooks on all academic subjects online, in writing and videos. If your kid has the discipline to sit and watch and do the work, and you as a parent have the time to organize a syllabus of the good materials and monitor the kid's progress, I think home-schooling is a slam-dunk sure bet now.
The only problem you have is clawing back the school taxes you are paying to those totalitarian creeps.

Like language, Math is a way we define and communicate the world around us. If we, willy-nilly, decide that word mean something other than what most of us think they mean, Language is useless. Just like if we decide that the values of 2 and 5 and the operation of + has a whole new definition, Math becomes nearly useless in the real world.
-------- But they're trying to prove that math is just like language in that we made the whole thing up. The word "fork" does not have to mean fork. But a fork is still a fork no matter what you call it. What we call it doesn't matter as such. Just about everyone knows what a fork is. If you call it other things, like an "outlet stabber" or "toaster digger" you may be able to change the behavior of stupid people but you are not changing the fork or what *can* be done with it. You are manipulating people. They are well used to the way language does this. They change word meanings all the time for just this reason. And it "changes" society, though gradually. And just like how they're not happy with one news outlet out of thousands not being under their control, so it is now with math and real science. 2 + 2 is such a universal truth that we could use it to instantly communicate with aliens or anyone else and have a shared understanding. It can't be fucked with like language without startlingly bad consequences for all. And I think that's what attracts these psychos to it. Posted by: ... at August 04, 2020 03:23 PM (Sq18x) 449

Classical education. The stuff we had before the 60s when they started trying out all these new ideas. Some children weren't achieving and succeeding like others, we have to even out the outcome! You start with Grammar: the basic facts, and kids memorize them (like 2+2=4 and spelling). Then you teach them Logic: how to build these basic facts into truths and examine what is wrong and false. Then you complete it with Rhetoric: how to use Logic to create new things and understand the world for yourself. Its called the "trivium" and it taught the world's leaders and built civilization for centuries until communists ruined education.

>>> 2/ To start, lets look at EXACTLY what they say as how they argue here is VERY important.
They don't say 2+2=4 is FALSE. They don't say 2+2 always equals 5. What they say is: A. 2+2 can sometimes equal 5, And B. That 2+2 doesn't always equal 4. ------- Well, sure. It depends on the self-realized gender and racial identities of the two 2's If one of the 2's identifies as a female, it gets bumped-up to the value of 3. Same if one of the 2's identifies as a Numeral of Color. The next logical step is to note the numerical/social additive value for each number in an equation. For example, a 2 that considers it self a lesbian would be noted as 2{1}. So, a cis-white male 2 added to a lesbian 2 would be 5. The equation is 2 + 2{1} = 5. Presto! Clear? (I'd better patent or trademark this concept before a loony left SJW math professor does!)

Even their examples to show 2+2 = 5 don't show that.
If you have two factories with two machines and parts for half of another and you join the two plants, you get five machines. That's not 2+2=5, that's 2.5+2.5=5 which is what math always says. You know, the exact opposite of your point. But, two apples plus two oranges doesn't equal four apples. You're right. But that's not 2+2, that's 2a+2o. Again, you're not making the point you think you're making. All I hear is that you're really dumb and you don't know how math works. Of course, I knew that when you said 2+2 can be 5.

We're heading back to an Earth-centered solar system model, I can just feel it.
The fun part when I was reading up on Galileo is that eckshually his model was worse than Ptolemy's. Ptolemy had millennia of fine-tuning (the famous Hypatia added some tweaks) so was a decent approximation by the 1600s. It was better at calculating Mercury's orbit for instance. Galileo supported his findings through the Stellar Parallax : arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0612/0612086.pdf But his numbers were shit. It took until the 1800s when Galileo would be proven despite him. Posted by: boulder t'hobo at August 04, 2020 03:29 PM (ykYG2) 496

He saw it and just burst out laughing, the hold-your-sides-because-they-hurt kind. He recovered himself sufficiently to say, "Well, if you allow 2 to expand infinitely..." and then he was off again.

So lemme get this straight... Decimal numerics (invented by the Arabians) and Algebra (invented by the Persians) which are the basis of all rudimentary forms of modern math, are in fact tools of white supremacy.

Great summary, Ace. This is the emerging manifestation of a social nightmare, and so difficult to define and in turn to confront with any kind of unified force. When was the last time you heard a conservative politicians talk about post-modernism or deconstructionism? And yet it is a very real mental and moral hazard flourishing within our education system.

Denconstructionism, post-modernism, and the Hunt for White Supremacy are products marketed to affirmative action, gold star self esteem camp, and low IQ students who were admitted to college despite being unprepared and no damn good at anything. The colleges want their money. The destruction of rigor, competence, and meaning makes them as good as anyone. For them to face truth, that they suck, and were cheated out of their tuition, is unthinkable for everyone involved. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at August 04, 2020 03:42 PM (jjL0/) 581

The factory example is funny. Last time I checked, 2.5 + 2.5 =5 and for their example, that is only true if they each factory has exactly the correct pieces in each "half" to build a working machine.

We DEMAND that anyone in authority who asserts 2+2 can equal 5 immediately cease the use of any and all technology / craft. All technology and craft (including carpentry) requires an adherence to the proposition that in Newtonian space 2+2 = 4. Deny it and live with the consequences. This is what should be demanded at school board / curriculum development meetings.

This is the dumbest shit imaginable, and easily identifiable by the use of a retarded "cartoon" / "meme" to explain it.
You see, 2 apples plus 2 oranges does NOT equal 4 apples. Alas, apples and oranges ARE both "fruit" as well as "objects". So, using an actual functioning brain, rather than a moronic progressive SJW brain, you CAN conclude that 2 apples plus 2 oranges DOES, in fact, equal 4 fruit AND 4 objects. You fucking idiots. Posted by: deadrody at August 04, 2020 04:39 PM (/jrmI) 607
I think the simplest response is this: "Very well, 2+2 isn't always 4. And blacks, gays and transgenders aren't always human, or entitled to any rights. There isn't any universal truth, is there?"
Posted by: SCROTUS at August 04, 2020 04:40 PM (yaQnX) 608
Their real problem is conflating "can be" with "always is".
The idea that these concepts "can be" associated with racism is also moronic, but you can take very simple actions to mitigate any such mythical racism so that rather than math or science therefore ALWAYS containing racism, you actually make it so that it NEVER contains racism. All this, to placate idiots. Posted by: deadrody at August 04, 2020 04:40 PM (/jrmI) 609
If 2 + 2 can equal 5, there's no reason 2 + 2 can't equal - 5.
Let us apply that reasoning to Rochelle Gutierrez's paycheck & give her a pay rise of, say, 2+2 = -50,000. We wouldn't want to be racist or white supremacist now , would we? Posted by: aelfheld at August 04, 2020 04:41 PM (IxDhF) 610
Does it ever occur to these loons that both Critical Theory and Deconstruction were developed by white men?
Hell I think I could make a decent argument that they did so in an effort to promulgate White Supremacy - that they knew that, by attacking logic and reason as "white constructs", grievance mongers and other disaffected groups would latch on to such intellectual garbage and therefore discredit whatever valid points their respective ideologies may actually have had.

"There are two factories. Each factory has 2 fully operation machines, as well as half the parts to build another one. If the two factories are joined into one and the two halves of parts were built together, there would 5 total machines. A case where 2 + 2 = 5."
Palm to forehead. This idiot is conflating factories with machines. Each factory has 2.5 machines. the correct formula here is 2 times 2.5 which equals 5. It really matters to only combine things that have like units. The formulation of the stupidy is the equivlaent to: If we have gone 2 miles and have 3 cows how many Woke Assholes are teaching math. Can we just have our civil war now so it is legal to bomb schools. The Chicoms are going to make us a colony. By the way the answer to my mixed units problem does have an answer.

Even if you wanted to be generous, and try to side with their thinking, their entire premise makes no sense.
"2+2 doesn't always equal 4 if one 2 is 2 apples and the other 2 is the continent of Africa" well no shit, because no fuckin moron would think that way except you feeble minded shits. This is a further expansion of their idea that the meaning of a word is just whatever you want it to be. They now want to expand that to everything.
