How utterly irrelevant Ayn Rand is here, and your discussion of educators/ education is a continued deflection. You’re still deflecting. Why?

My own example of why 2+2=5 sometimes is very much about this asshole definition of "objectivity" You can prove that arithmetic as a closed system is logically consistent, you can't prove that any particular application of such a system to the real world is objectively correct

(Actually you CAN'T prove that arithmetic is consistent using arithmetic itself, that's Gödel's second incompleteness theorem, but we don't need to get into that) Whether 2+2=4 in real life is entirely dependent on how you count and measure the four things, whatever they are

"Culture War"? We're talking about proper math. There's no example where 2+2=5, and so it is offensive to people. It's like saying that global greenhouse emissions don't heat up the planet. It's subjective. And what GhostMantis posted (objective/subjective) makes perfect sense.
