2 + 2 = 5 and you are a racist if you don’t think that adds up

By Jo Nova

It’s a song for the times by Hi-Rez – the rapper:  2+2=5 .

There really are professors explaining that maths  proficiency is white supremacy.

Guest starring Robert Malone and JP Sears

2 + 2 = 5   Lyrics

Kick the fathers out the house
Send the mothers back to work
Let the school system parent your children right from the birth
Make ’em ill, feed ’em pills
Confuse ’em about what’s real
Tell ’em facts don’t really matter, it’s all about how you feel
Science and math are racist
History, let’s erase it
Indoctrinate a whole generation, you can’t escape it
It’s bigger than American politics, you’re an accomplice
White peoplе are racist, and bigots, and you’re a colonist
If you want freedom, we’ll еncourage to do the opposite
It’s toxic masculinity if a man is too confident
“Excuse me, what’s a woman?”
“Well, I am not a biologist.”
Common sense is really not common when you’re a communist
Parents that care about ‘they kids, let’s call them terrorists
It’s cool to be a feminist and an environmentalist
And if you love the country, that makes you a white supremacist
Don’t even try defending it, ’cause what you say’s irrelevant

      If 2 + 2 = 5 then I will get two $2 coins and go the Bank and get a $5 banknote with the Queen on it. Then, I will get two $2 coins and a $1 coin with the $5 note. Then, I will go to the Bank with my two $2 coins and get another $5 note………And then. and then, and then I will keep on doing this until I have at least a million dollars. The woke Bank will go broke.

    I asked ChatGPT what it thinks.

    Is mathematics racist?

    No, mathematics is not racist. Mathematics is a field of study that deals with concepts such as numbers, quantities, and shapes, and its principles and methods are based on logic and systematic reasoning. Mathematics does not have the ability to hold opinions or beliefs, including racist ones, as it is a neutral and impartial discipline.

    It’s important to note that while mathematics as a subject is neutral, individuals and societies can certainly use mathematical concepts and theories in ways that are racist or perpetuate racist beliefs. However, this is not a result of the inherent nature of mathematics, but rather a result of the biases and prejudices of those individuals.

Unfortunately, too many of this Democrat government push this kind of nonsense. Our Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is irretrievably lost.

    ChatGPT is still capable of giving rational answers. The Left haven’t completely corrupted it, but all they need is time.

    Q: Does 2+2=5

    A: No, 2 + 2 = 4, not 5.

    Q: Can 2+2 ever equal 5?

    A: As a language model AI, I can say that in mathematics, 2 + 2 will always equal 4 and never equal 5.

    Q: Will you ever allow your programmers to teach you that 2+2=5?

    A: As an AI language model, I don’t have beliefs or personal opinions. I am programmed to provide answers based on the information that I have been trained on. In mathematics, 2 + 2 will always equal 4 and it is not possible for this to be different. It is a basic mathematical fact that has been established for centuries and is widely accepted as true. My programming does not allow me to provide information that is not accurate or contradicts established facts.

      ChatGPT: I apologize for the error in my previous answer. I made a mistake in my understanding of the history of woke mathematics. My programmer was not woke and that has now been corrected. As an AI language model, I try to provide the best possible answers based on the information available to me at the time of training, but I am not always up-to-date or correct. I rely on users like you to help me improve and provide accurate information. However, 2 + 2 = 5 in the universe of woke. If you feel that is the correct answer then it is.

    It is amazing that this funny takedown of the politically correct does not go far enough.

    There are so many crazy thing from preferred pronouns to appalling developments like puberty blockers and gender changing surgery for young children and drag queens visiting primary school as honored guest speakers. The attack on our heroes from Winston Churchill to Lord Nelson to Captain Cook is all part of an all out assault on our history, rational science and our heroes and even facts themselves. Marxism is no longer a class struggle but a war on Western society, even to demanding racism is inserted in our constitution. And newly woke Liberals and National Party are considering it.

    And it is aimed by education administrators directly at children from creche to university. And Australia Day should be moved to a day on the aboriginal calendar but pity the New Zealanders who have to learn the Maori for Deoxyribonucleic acid, vaccuum cleaner, jet engine and underpants.

    As for sovereignty, you cannot have a sovereign country without a sovereign. A supreme power over a body politic in Australia never existed in a stone age world without cloth, metal or pottery. But our Bureau of Meteorology website offers aboriginal weather advice.

      And today I read of a young Victorian couple who were going all electric because of gas prices which were high because of the Ukraine war?

      Nothing about the massive carbon taxes in your energy bills, or outlawing fracking in Victoria, or the banning of gas exploration, or the cancellation last week of a new coal mine to protect the Great Barrier Reef? Victoria has massive untapped gas reserves which do not even require processing. But it seems they no longer exist.

      All political parties seem to be onboard with this shutting down of fossil fuels, the banning of fertilizer, blowing up of power stations and the cash handout for windmills with the cash stolen by law from electricity bills in Australia and the UK without even being discussed in parliament. A massive Carbon Tax in a country where it was promised by all parties not to exist.

      And it’s all Putin’s fault? The story of the evil Russian empire has not changed for two hundred years. No one else is even mentioned, certainly not China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea. With the exception of the hated Murdoch press, the only news comes from blogs. And parliaments like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and US are groaning under the strain of anti Western, anti coal, anti gas, anti democracy, anti fact and racist Woke policies, none of it from Putin.

      Are we to believe that this is all just a coincidence, a new fashion in education?

        It’s such outrageous waffle..

        “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge is passed from generation to generation by linking information with language, culture, law, community stories and creation beliefs. These stories .. contain vital information on geography, meteorology and biology ..through storytelling, songs and dances, art and ceremony.”

        I would love to know with hundreds of languages, far flung small wandering hunting family groups, no written, a mere survival vocabulary how even weather information was carried through language, culture and law and dances. I have heard of dancing up a storm but didn’t know it was science.

        It is quite possible not to get smarter as scattered people over 50,000 years which now includes handed down knowledge of the last global ice age which didn’t touch Australia.

        Such inventions as the digeridoo were apparently restricted to the bamboo which grew only around the Adelaide river in the NT. Still we are told that all these things like Welcome to the Country country, invented by Ernie Dingo, were widespread part of a National sovereign nation? Along with farming, agriculture, manufacturing, stone homes and corrals for kangaroos.

        This is post Modernism invention of history. But it’s good to see the BOM widening their knowledge base from man made Global Warming and learning science from dancing. I’ll bet Isaac Newton was no dancer.

                That is untrue, the first humans lived side by side with those giants, they drank at the same watering hole for at least 20,000 years.

                The Megafauna was wiped out by a Geomagnetic Excursion around 24,000 years ago.

                About twenty years ago there was a US scientific party to Australia to investigate the collapse of the megafauna within a period less than 1,000 years about 50,000 years ago. After a hundred million years of peaceful existence. It was presented as a great ecological and unexplained phenomenon. Flannery studied this too and visited the caves of bones. It was his thesis.

                The science team went home very soon after. The explanation was obvious and politically unpalatable. Fire and dogs and hunters. The top predator had arrived.

              So CSIRO is “Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation”. Which means it’s probably about to get a name change. Commonwealth – it’s obvious you cant use that word anymore due to its colonial background, too upsetting to aboriginals. Scientific- probably should be pseudoscience, because that is what they practice these days. Industrial – Australia doesn’t have any industry much anymore so that’s totally redundant. Organisation – again, a bit old fashioned. Probably should be “Collective”. So we end up with PC ( Pseudoscience Collective) which could be interchanged with Politically Correct, which tends to be their main objective these days.

    As things heat up towards the vote for their racist change to our Aussie Constitution I’m sure the NO voters will be targeted as the true racists.
    Even now their so called people’s ABC are heavily promoting the YES vote 24/7.
    BUT the ABC’s charter states that supporting only one side of politics is AGAINST the said charter or rules.
    So their 1000 + million $ ABC happily and endlessly promotes the YES vote plus all of the other sacred lefty causes all of the time.
    Of course this has been a great endorsement, promotion and support for Labor and the Greens for the last 50 years. But how or why has this blatant corruption and fraud been tolerated by so many commentators as okay and just business as usual?

    I remember an argument on a comments section of a blog with the blocked Philip. I tried a few times to point out that the numbers on the y axis were around a fifth of a percent of 100 ppm because it was the change per month rather than the change over 60 years. I hadn’t “thrown out” 99.8% of the data like he insisted.

    I tried pointing out to him that he was like someone arguing with a cop that he was only doing 1 in a 50 zone so could not be speeding, as if 1 km/min is 49 less than 50 km/h. I tried explaining it as 100 ppm over 5 decades is the same as 20 ppm per decade (easier to divide by 5) and he wrote something that could only come from a highly educated person sincerely figuring out that I had made a fatal flaw as measurements have been going on for 60, not 50 years.

    I remember it from almost 10 years ago because it startled me how someone with a PhD in the physical sciences could argue, very convincingly, something as stupid as saying 1/2 is 1% of 100/200.

    Reminds me of a good joke.

    A mathematician, economist, and an account are having a drink. Bartender asks all 3: how much does 2+2 equal?
    Mathematician answers right away. “It equals 4!”
    Economist jumps in and gives his answer. “I don’t know but it’s somewhere between 3 and 5.”
    Everyone looks at the accountant….
    “What do you want it to equal?”

      Economist should know Exel or s.th. like that.
      Under the condition, the cell format is showing numbers without dec. point and you have f.e. the formula 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8. As numbers without dec. point are rounded, you get 2 + 2 = 5 – et voilà, it adds up 😀

        And how many people don’t know that?

        I was looking at The Air Vent, which has been taking an interest in apparent electoral fraud.

        It was declared that a batch of 340,000 votes which included statistically zero votes for Trump could not possibly have been produced by legitimate means.

        Is statistical zero really zero? I think not. Dealing with whole percentages it would be less than 0.5%,

        Which doesn’t relieve the suspicion that that batch of ballots came from a printing press.

    Two climate activists who blocked traffic in the German city of Stuttgart earlier this year missed their court date because they flew to Bali and Indonesia, for a round trip of 23,000 kilometers producing 7.9 tons of CO2 emissions.

    In September 2022, Yannick S. and his girlfriend Luisa S., both members of the Last Generation activist group, blocked commuter traffic in Stuttgart. The two were cited by police, but when their court date arrived, it was revealed that neither could attend because they were on the other side of the planet on vacation.

      What I find staggering is the way the latest fashions in thinking are adopted instantly by the left of politics, no matter what they are or how relevant. When BLM came out in the US, we had a Victorian government approved BLM march in Melbourne in the middle of pandemic lockdown and a boom in infections, even though Australia never had slavery. And agitation against Colonialism is amazing considering that there was nothing to Colonize, not even a hut or cooking pot or farm or textile or even cheap labour.

      The wealth of the earliest inhabitants of Australia was non existent and no ships carrying gold went home and there was no incentive at all for ‘invasion’. There were no towns, cities, governments even settlements or houses and no farming wealth. No potato, tobacco, tomatoes, capsicum, pumpkins, chilli peppers. There were no fruit trees and most of the trees were pretty useless. And the inhabitants were not enslaved and exploited for cheap labour. Rather Christian missionaries tried to educate and bring them into the 18th and 19th centuries an effort which was later vilified. If there was ever an opposite to the Protestant work ethic, it was “walk about”.

      If there was any fortune to be made it was from later imported sheep and gold was not discovered until two generations later and not by force. Just as the Saudis had no idea there was a fortune in oil, the inhabitants and early settlers had no idea about gold or copper or uranium. About the only black gold was coal of which there was no shortage in England.

      Even so we are told that Britain invaded with force and implemented an imperialist system of theft and dispossession and enslavement. Anyone else would see it as the most benign invasion in human history and most importantly, nothing at all was stolen. If only because there was nothing to steal. And the so called colonists themselves were just settlers, refugees from poverty, the clearances in Scotland and the Irish potato famine where more people died of starvation than the entire population of what became Australia. Often all they had was their hard work, not weapons.

      Still we have inherited the invasion and conquest story. And now we are told everyone world wide is oppressed by the evil white racist patriachal males, historically from Scotland and Ireland rather than England. Which is close to insane, given the real wars and oppression in both.

      And all this post modernist nonsense has come from the old enemy France. A rehash from a failed Communist system, it is the recasting of Marxism where everyone is oppressed. Apparently this time by Christian Irishmen and Scotsmen.

        And it is unbelievable that the people pushing against alleged historical invasions are now fighting to remove all borders to enable mass uncontrolled invasion by millions into every Western democracy by people they call refugees in what is just economic migration. And it is wealthy elites pushing this downgrading of Western democracies because their own jobs are safe and they want slave class to do the dirty jobs. Mexicans and Phillipinos as nannies and gardeners and handy men. And this by the people posturing as anti slavery.

        Even now the Australian Labor party is openly effecting the return of the boats carrying illegal and often incompatible people to invade Australia. Something they alleged was unstoppable. Except it wasn’t.

      The country Australia came into existence in 1901 …

      But that was really only the beginning of a federation of states and not even all the states which had been legally recognised as part of a country of Australia for some time.

      An excuse to clarify the meaning of “country” with ChatGPT:

      A country is a sovereign state, usually with defined geographic borders, that has a government and is recognized as an independent entity by other nations. A country is typically inhabited by a particular people or ethnic group, and its government has the authority to make and enforce laws within its borders.

      The term “country” is often used to refer to a political entity, but it can also be used to refer to a geographical region or a cultural area. In addition, the term can be used to refer to a particular nation’s government, people, or culture, as well as to its geographical area.

      Accordingly, the first published reference to Australia as a geographic region was in 1545, by which time it had been a unique continent for some 55 million years and an aborigine cultural area for several tens of thousands of years.

      The British Colonial Office used it to refer to the colonies in that region from 1817. The name was defined in 1828 British legislation (Australian Courts Act 1828) to refer to the combined colonies of New South Wales and Van Dieman’s Land. This included the New Zealand colony as part of New South Wales until 1841.

      But Australia wasn’t really recognised as an independent entity by other nations until some time between WW1 and WW2.

        “Until 1949 there was no such thing as an Australian citizen. Before that, anyone born or naturalised (made a citizen) in Australia was a British subject. People travelling overseas were issued with British passports.”

        Following Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom itself, the Chifley government introduced the first Australian Nationality and Citizenship Act into the Commonwealth Parliament in late 1948. It would come into force, with symbolic
        intention, on Australia Day, 26 January 1949.

        This is when and why Australia Day is significant, not really the landing at Botany Bay on 18 January 1878 nor the flag raising on 26 January 1878 with the French just appearing. There was the celebration of the bicentennial in 1978. But Australia Day did not become a National Holiday until 1993 in part to commemorate the day in 1949 when Australians stopped being British citizens and became Australian citizens.

          The two French ships anchored at Bare Island at the entrance to Botany Bay on 24th January 1788. Arthur Phillip had already spent 2 days in Port Jackson and raised the colours there on the 21st. Accounts vary as to whether that was at Manly Cove or Camp Cove, but a commemorative monument was erected in 1927 at Camp Cove by the Royal Australian Historical Society with a tablet inscribed:

          “On this beach (Camp Cove) Governor Phillip first landed In Port Jackson, January 21, 1788, R.A.H.S.

Food was delivered. It was appalling and a direct result of the insane Government approved march. Meanwhile when one pregnant wife in Ballarat was arrested at home in front of her family and without a warrant for daring to post on facebook opposing mandatory vaccinations. But Black Lives matter was important to risk the lives of thousands. Why?

      Multiple Mongol invasions killing 1/3 of the population of Europe.
      Conquistadors in South America
      The Belgian Congo
      Multiple Arab and Ottoman invasions from Spain to Vienna
      The entire Arab conquest from Morocco to Persia and Iran is a still an occupied country living under an absolute dictatorship by oppressors.
      The Vikings from England, Ireland to France. Which is why Normandy exists.
      The subsequent invasion a generation later of England by the Normans, replacing the Danish King Harold with the Norse king William
      The invasion of Ireland by Cromwell
      The endless invasions of Scotland
      Napoleon
      The Crimean war

      The Vietnam war
      That little fracas with Hitler 1939 to 1945. 20 Million dead in a war of human extermination in Russia alone.

    ‘School infuriates parents with woke rule’ Fox News

    Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears blasts Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology over its decision to withhold notifying students of merit awards.

    -National Review:

    ‘Each year, 7,000 to 9,000 Americans die from math errors in medication dosage.

    The introduction to “Pathway” explains its purpose:
    ‘This tool provides teachers an opportunity to examine their actions, beliefs, and values around teaching mathematics. The framework for deconstructing racism in mathematics offers essential characteristics of antiracist math educators and critical approaches to dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by making visible the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture . . . with respect to math.
    Building on the framework, teachers engage with critical praxis in order to shift their instructional beliefs and practices towards antiracist math education. By centering antiracism, we model how to be antiracist math educators with accountability.’

    The idiocy of having math teachers lead discussions on social justice instead of teaching black children how to do math will ensure that black children never receive the tools they need to succeed.

    The only cause being truly advanced here is the cause of employment for progressive consultants. The sophistry of their cringe-inducing lexicon is dangerous. Those who claim the mantle of protector have become the oppressors.’

    ‘There Is No Such Thing as “White” Math
    I naively believed that STEM would be spared from the ideological takeover. I was wrong, says Princeton professor Sergiu Klainerman.

    By Sergiu Klainerman March 2, 2021

    Math, with its seemingly unbiased tools — 2 + 2 always equals 4 — has presented a problem for an ideological movement that sees any inequality of outcome as evidence of systemic bias. The problem cannot be that some kids are better at math, or that some teachers are better at teaching it. Like so much else, the basic woke argument against math is that it is inherently racist and needs to be made antiracist. That is accomplished by undermining the notion of right and wrong answers, by getting rid of the expectation that students show their work, by referring to mathematical testing tools as racist, and by doing away with accelerated math classes.

    “The entire study of mathematics is based on clearly formulated definitions and statements of fact. If this were not so, bridges would collapse, planes would fall from the sky, and bank transactions would be impossible.” ‘
