Ya, I guess it does kinda get all hypothetical.fyrtenheimer wrote:if you say 2+2 = 4, i'd pretty much say that's a fact
unless you want to get all hypothetical about it.
WHAT IF 2+2 DOESN'T EQUAL FOUR.
Then we should all boycott school, then blame our actions on lack of a better education
Why do we believe 2 + 2 = 4? Because someone gave us a believable explanation that results in that answer?
Why is math proven? Wasn't it just an opinion from the first peson until everyone followed it? Once enough people believe it, it pretty much becomes a fact.
Anyways, I don't know where I'm going with this.. lol ~_~

Get what? You mean, what I say? Is there anything special about it? Well, whatever it is, it just comes with listening and thinking. Listening and thinking. ^_^

If you have 2 oranges, and I give you two more, THEN DUH.
You have 4 oranges. It's not intangible.
We only say there are four oranges, because "four" is our word for, well, four. In Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries, for instance, they call four "quatro".
If you have dos oranges, and I give you dos more oranges, then you have quatro oranges.
Get to the underlying meaning of the words, and it all stays the same.
