Kareem Carr, PhD candidate in Biostatistics at Harvard: “Imagine a system where we can only measure things to 1 decimal place. So 2 could mean 1.5 to 2.4 ... 2.4 +2.4 is 4.8. ... In our theoretical system, this would look like 2+2=5. ...” 8:54 PM, July 30, 2020, Twitter.

Brittany Marshall, Rutgers Mathematics PhD student: “Nope the idea of 2 + 2 equals 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think of it as the only way of knowing.” 11:27 PM, July 5, 2020, Twitter.

Michael J Barany, a professor at the University of Edinborough: “1+1=2 is a hegemonic discourse, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” Jan. 28, 2019, Twitter.

Wow this guy (PhD) is an idiot... In his theoretical system that measures a max one decimal place, 2.4+2.4 = 4.8 would NOT look like 2+2=5, it would look like: 2.4+2.4 = 4.8, duh.
