      If you have a set of scales and you have a thing that shows on the scale that it weighs two, and another if that thing, that also shows on the scale that it weighs two, and you weigh both together you still see that it weighs five. That's the point.

      Reality is full of rounding errors because we don't have infinite precision. Understanding that is important. One way to help understand it is to look at a very simple case which should help explain it. Or you can stamp your feet and scream that 2+2=4 and not learn.

      Hey man - at least you can sleep well with the knowledge that in a future authoritarian society you would not be remotely in danger of execution. A model citizen who willingly believes lies.

      Jesus Christ dude being a contrarian who's willing to publicly defend the "2+2=5" take is the EXACT OPPOSITE of being a "model citizen"

      You right fam - being willing to not just say, but believe, that facts are not facts and there is no objective truth even in math isn’t something an authoritarian society would desire. I see ministry of truth job apps in your future.pic.twitter.com/EikgXNkksH

      It really isn't though Orwell has a lot to answer for here, like a huge chunk of how 1984 portrays totalitarianism is pure fiction based on his own hangups

      I mean hey we can stick to the text of that one book you love so much if you want The strawman you're accusing me of is solipsism, and 1984 is explicit that the Party rejects solipsism and considers their ideology to be the exact opposite of solipsism ("You do not exist")

      "Any point of view has some validity to it, every model actually used by human beings must have some utility and therefore truth, give everything a chance before tossing it away" That was what Carr said, and it's the OPPOSITE of saying truth is received wisdom from the Party

      The freedom to play, the freedom to fuck around and say "What games with language can I use to make 2+2=5 work if I want it to" The Party is absolutely opposed to that The concept of Newspeak is explicitly to make this kind of thing impossible

          The dickhead conservatives who've adopted Orwell love to say "Newspeak" to mean any jargon they don't like or understand, especially "PC jargon" But Newspeak is the OPPOSITE of that Newspeak is about only using simple words that everyone knows whose intended meaning is obvious

          It's designed to make you talk like a little kid "Good" and "ungood" are the only words you can use to judge something All verbs have only one tense ("think" and not "thought") Language is supposed to become easy and automatic, there are no double meanings "Duckspeaking"

          “What games can I play to make 2+2=5 if I want it to.” Easily becomes “How can I train my mind to accept anything anyone says is truth when it is convenient for me.” So now all I have to do is force you into a position where saying what I want is convenient for you.

          Lol and you think your personal inflexibility and incapacity for abstraction - your dumbness, to put it bluntly - immunizes you from this You think that's the same thing as moral courage, that the way you are is because you just love truth too much

          Phrasing it as language games made this click for me. Because yeah, "2 grams" is just words. The easiest definition is "precisely twice the quantity of one gram" but it's not hard to see how that meaning extends into "as far as our instruments can tell, twice the quantity".

          Words in the sort of linguistic sense of "a string of graphemes assembled into a meaningful phrase", not as in "a series of letters separated by spaces". Though tbh any definition of "word" will always be fuzzy and incomplete.
