Math can only be performed on numbers you actually measure, not on the "underlying reality" you cannot perceive This is basic to how science works, if you forget about it you fuck things up https://t.co/3uCfkl2cxs

I am saying that there is one framing in which the statement "2+2=5" expresses an important truth There are others, that a professor of mathematics might find more interesting (modular arithmetic and the like)

This whole thing started with a mathematician saying "you should know what a statement is asserting before you dismiss it out of hand", and now look at the gall of these idiots who don't understand basic math dismissing the statement out of hand.

These are the same people who scream "objective reality!" and then get mad at you if you point out that how we see the night sky is based on where we are.
