Kareem = Idiot 1.5 round up to 2, 2.4 rounds down to 2 2+2 is still 4. Fail, Kareem get your money back for that Phd.

Not sure about that one specifically, but it makes sense that extremely primitive cultures wouldn’t have worked out the mathematics beyond what they immediately needed. But if/when they needed to do something their current understanding couldn’t do, they’d need a way to describe what happens when you add two things to two things. And whether one calls it ‘two’ or ‘dribbledeeswartszfarg”, or whether one is working in decimal, binary, sexagessimal, etc., it’s still the same concept. Math is universal. 2+2=4. These “woke” people think they are so much smarter than they are.

In the end, these people are really just fighting against Reality. That’s a fight that they will lose.

There is actually a school in Papeete Tahiti called the 2+2=4 school. The person who donated it wanted the students to at least get one thing of value from their education experience.

Then how do two families come to an agreement on how many cows constitute an appropriate dowry for a daughter’s hand in marriage?

[redgolum]

I have African’s that work for me.

They can count. One is going to be an engineer.

[DuncanWaring]

Yeah, but you’re not in Africa. ;-)

What does ≈ mean? approximately equal to ≈ means approximately equal to, or almost equal to. The two sides of a relationship indicated by this symbol will not be accurate enough to manipulate mathematically. ERGO: 2+2 = 4 and 2 + 2 ≈ 5 ARE NOT THE SAME. Harvard is losing value quickly these days.
