      It was an interesting piece because it talks about how the world is getting bigger and expertise more specialized and the shibboleths that mark an "educated person" increasingly dependent on faith in institutions I doubt he'd be backing your take (though he could be an asshole)

      You don't seem to know that 2 + 2 = 5 has a specific role in Orwell, and in preceding literature. And I quote, from Orwell writing about Nazi propaganda: "If he says that two and two are five – well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs."

      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.

      You must hate computers...all 1's and 0's...and nothing else...and the 1's had better be 1's and the 0's better be 0's or the whole thing collapses...

      Understanding that everything in the real world is all sloppy is fundamentally necessary in order to actually work with computers

      like how many times must the computer be told that when I type the letter "e" the letter "e" comes out? Life is so sloppy...I am eternally in adulation when an "e" emerges when I type "e"

      Okay, so you don't actually know how computers work and just blithely assume they always do work, thanks to the labor of many people smarter than you

      and sewers and bridges and electricity and power plants and water supply and garbage collection...I suppose you don't relay on those, but are also expert on those? Much of that supplied by people that might not be as smart as you, but I suppose you look down on them?

      Well, I don't say incorrect shit about how a sewer system works in order to win some kind of abstract argument about math that has nothing to do with sewer systems, so I think I'm still ahead on this one

          2+2=4 isn't abstract, it's like 2nd grade math?

          Yeah, but it's an abstract statement about concepts that exist only in the mind Two of WHAT, added to two of WHAT
