      conceptual "2+2=4" guy going full Q is both inevitable and pretty amusing. 1

      Orwell was insightful about many things but dramatically suggesting that an embrace of mathematics was foundational for democracy was one of his sillier moments.

          it's the same mistake people make with calling Trump insane, or suggesting that the problem with fascism is irrationality.

          the problem with fascism is fundamentally moral, not intellectual.

          Where does one draw the line of objective reality though? And is there someone who better discusses how to discuss mathematics in a theoretical plane while being able to understand that Tom Cotton was not an army ranger? Post truth leads to fascism. So how should we define truth?

          It’s also an allusion, & in that context the neo-Q-rational guy’s arguments about 2+2 are…irrational.https://twitter.com/GiffordJames/status/1290804551155507200 …

          Am I alone in remembering that the "2 + 2" thing in Orwell responds to Dostoyevsky who responds to Chernyshevsky, and it's really about free will? We're reinventing the library again but can't seem to be bothered to open the books…

          It's undeniable that education is a strong determiner of voting patterns.

          race is much more so. and neither of those things is some sort of absolute truth; it's the case in the US right now because of various social factors. but the poorest people are never the main supporters of fascism.
