      It's amazing how a professional mathematician saying things that any professional mathematician would readily accept as non-controversial gets a bunch of dickhead conservatives screaming and pounding on the tablehttps://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1288957167844962306 …

      Kids, never doubt yourself. You can achieve anything, including getting math educators to double, triple, and quadruple down on 2+2=5 so they won't have to admit their political and epistemological views are literally Orwellian. pic.twitter.com/KBDlMbc8N2

      Even just an example that everyone is screaming about as logic-chopping and cheating is a good and important example worth thinking about That it's easy to add 2 pounds to 2 pounds and get 5 pounds, if you're using a scale that rounds 2.2 and 2.4 down to 2 and rounds 4.6 up to 5

      This is a basic truth even when you're talking about counting sheep or stones Because the objects you're counting aren't truly identical and are standing in for some mass quantity like "kilos of wool" All measurement is approximation, even just counting

          (Which is why if I make a deal with someone to buy 100 head of sheep and they deliberately pick the smallest, scrawniest sheep with the least amount of wool per sheep, they can fuck me over Common sense stuff)

          Right, yeah - and more than just approximation being involved, it's abstraction a lot of the time. We abstract reality to numbers so we can work with them, then project it back onto reality. Like any translations, there's some information lost.

          The Metric System is a lie! I just wanted to say that. As a kid that grew up using a base 12 system for all my important projects, but, yes I agree. The basis for the meter is still just as arbitrary as the basis for the inch. The meter is superior in its universal acceptance.

          The question of whether a baby who could in theory stay on a lap the whole time counts as a seat, or whether a fat person counts as two seats (and how fat they have to be before this is enforced) are all big real life questions airlines have to deal with

          Replying to @arthur_affect @bitchimlying @perdricof

          Counting is not an approximation if what matters is the # of ppl or items, not any of their qualities. Yes, when buying event tickets you may start w/ a need to differentiate children < 2 from everyone else (free admission) but eventually you just need a # for tickets to buy.

          I was thinking of baseball tix. I haven’t heard of larger ppl having to buy 2 seats. It’s possible, of course. There’s a more important factor though...

          You can count electrons individually by their charge. There are several not too difficult experiments.
