2 + 2 = 5 Society

We live in a society based on social constructivism. Everything, the media, the news, the internet, it's all a lie. People don't realize that truth is based off the perspectives of different people with different perspectives, and no single way of lookin at the world is objectively correct, as logic as I have explained before is a convention. Therefore I would like to start my own society on chess.com called the 2 + 2 = 5 society that proves that logic is a social convention. Anyone can join. Those who do not I would consider Fascists, who vie that there is only one way of reasoning. Finally, however, there is a ground of mutual agreement between ideological belief systems.

You cannot prove something as true or false without an argument. Your argument is self-contradictory.

Changing language does not affect reality, something that refers to itself. In no universe can two plus two be five. It has been debunked several times.

I think, personally, that you are one of the most closed-minded, illogical, nonsensical trolls ever Cubronzo. I am a math major. The next time you go somewhere and buy two things that are two dollars each, I will laugh when you get mad cause they charged you five bucks 😛

The people explain that since language is a human invention, 2 + 2 can equal whatever you want and thus logic is a social convention. However, these numbers, when applied to the English language, are actually expressions of real perceptual experience. They, however, deny the existence of perception.

This sounds like some scary Orwellian dystopia. People deny what is self-evidently​ true, thus changing their perceptions of reality regardless to how reality is self-evidently expressed. Intelligence is the ability to comprehend. Cubronzo chooses to deny his own intellect, creating an interpersonal postmodernist fantasy where truth and logic do not exist.

Well then they should never longer communicate to us that we should no longer communicate since that is a social convention.

Postmodernism is the ability to have contradictions within your own thesis and act as if reality itself is purely subjective. The problem is that they construct the belief that all beliefs are relative but hold this belief above all others.

Everling , that is a. not insulting : virgin births, talking animals, walking on water, raining frogs , splitting oceans etc.etc. i.e. logic defying.

b. not discussing religion : A discussion of religion actually requires people dicussing religion

c. I find your last attack on my opinion insulting and wrong. get your act togeteher asap or I will report you to staff. Please don't think for a second I will put up with this type of cyber bullying.

This tread has potential.

Christianity is an incredibly successful offshoot of Judaism.  But that's true for all three Abrahamic religions.

P.S, remember to (Dubious) duck when it starts raining frogs.  Pun entirely intended.

So you don't believe in miracles? Saying you don't think Christianity makes sense is discussing religion...you are the one Attacking, just to clarify. What do you believe? BTW, there are plenty of miracles today. There is tons of evidence for that. I have my act together. If you want to discuss things further, please PM me and we can sort things out.

Po-Mo meets arithmetic in the above quotes.

And the fur continues to fly, or it's raining frogs.

The video, It's Raining Men, is more entertaining.

Nice everling, Another scathing attack on my person! Are you singling me out because I am Puerto Rican, which will be so racist, or do you just like to be aggressive? I notice you attacked the OP too! You are on thin ice man, one flick of my index finger and I will send a ticket to staff. Last warning.
