Just wanted to start off today by thanking @ConceptualJames for repeatedly verbally insulting me last night as it has lead to a +500 spike in followers in the last 12 hours. I wasn't going to bring it up but my follows were a little sluggish last few days.

Insulting you? How so? Doesn’t seem his style. Insulting ideas I could picture, but what insults did he sling at you?

Hrm. Fair enough. I think
@ConceptualJames is getting a bit too wrapped up in his work or exposing ppl to the flaws in a lot of woke ideology, maybe needs a break. Your examples are silly: changing defn’s can make any statement true. But that’s all that needs to be said.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

They aren't silly. As a data analyst, I think about non-linear number scales all the time. It's absolutely essential to my work. I was literally talking about datasets where a rigid view of the measure would get you in trouble. Clock data. Pricing data. Imprecise measurements.

Which of those do you think doesn't really occur in real life applications?

They are silly in the context of trying to show that 2+2=4 is not necessarily correct. In the same way that this would be silly: “The word pain always means an unpleasant physical sensation.” “Not if you use it in French!” It’s correct. It’s true. It’s also a silly point.

I mean, it's not silly, your original point was simply incorrect
