That actually isn't a quote from 1984... But yes, it's very much in there there too. This is an actual fact: you're literalizing Orwell.

You do realize that you are the one arguing for uncritical taught knowledge, which is exactly what Orwell was referring to. Unquestioning acceptance of ideas. In this case, 2+2=4. When that's not always true due to the imprecise status of reality.

That is sad. You demonstrate a lack of understanding of Orwell, algebra, critical thinking, literature, knowledge, and philosophy all in one short Tweet. Hell of an accomplishment!!!

You must not have meant to reply to me. Because I know that Orwell was against just accepting what an authority tells you without question.

2+2=4 is not an authoritative statement. It follows logically from the structure of Allegra and from the experience of reality in your life. No one tells you that this is true, it is self evident. Anyone saying that 2+2=5 is attempting authoritative control of your mind.

No. That's not actually true. And that's not what is happening here. What is happening is that it is being pointed out that due to the imprecise nature of reality, as opposed to the fantasy of pure logic, sometimes 2 + 2 = 5.

In the context of algebra and in the context of reality, 2+2 always equals 4. You are gaslighting yourself.

At least if there are two humans they're both embarrassingly lazy humans
