Philosophy "2+2=22" / He Yongqi

[Author: He Yongqi]

Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about "2+2=22"; the meaning of this is very profound! If you don't interpret it, you may not be able to see its inner "highlights".

Let's talk about the story first, in the movie, an American female math teacher tests the child's mathematical calculation ability, and there is a question in the test paper: 2+2=?

After the exam, when the female math teacher corrected the test paper, she found that Tony had answered the question incorrectly. Tony's answer is 2+2=22, and the female teacher interviews Tony, and in order to correct Tony's mistake, the teacher takes two markers in one hand and tells Tony 2+2=4.

The math teacher asked Tony how many markers and two markers were ??—— Tony replied: 22, and Tony walked away angrily.

The math teacher thinks it's a serious problem! The female math teacher first told Tony's parents about the correction, and then looked at their attitudes.

Tony's father, however, was very unimpressed!

The math teacher told Tony's father that 2+2=22 was wrong.

Tony's father, looking at the math teacher in surprise, said: Why do you say "your answer is right"??

Okay, that's it, let's look at this from both sides.

Here's a question: who's wrong??

Tony is an elementary school student, and his answer is 2+2=22;right??

The answer of the female math teacher is 2+2=4;

The core question is: whose answer is right??—— the female math teacher's answer is right; What about Tony??

According to Tony, the elementary school student, 2+2 equals 22. What do you think??

Important: 22 This view is Tony's own answer. We don't know what he thinks, but Tony thinks about it. He didn't think that the math teacher's answer was right.

We don't care about Tony, hold... What kind of logical thinking, 22 must have 22 reasons.

Although Tony is an elementary school student, he does not talk nonsense, on the contrary, he thinks that "the teacher answered incorrectly".

And Tony was very sure of his opinion! He was very adamant that his answer was right.

The female math teacher also tried her best to correct Tony's mistakes, but Tony rejected the teacher.

Now, there's a tangled point: whose answer is wrong??

The female math teacher insisted on 2+2=4;

The little boy Tony insisted on 2+2=22;

Note: Both sides will not compromise, but what about the female math teacher, who will try her best to correct Tony's mistakes.

Note that here, there is an active and passive problem, and the female math teacher is active, and she tries her best to correct Tony's mistake, that is, 2+2=22 is the wrong answer. The female teacher used various methods to make Tony, a child, understand and understand what he was wrong.

Tony is passive, but Tony will "persevere".

What to do?

According to the parents, and the school leadership: a female math teacher should not force the child to "the answer she thinks is right".

The math teacher insists that Tony's mistake must be corrected! What do you think??

2+2=4 vs. 2+2=22 – who's right??

It's a collision of two ideas: the school's leadership, and the parents' point of view: as a teacher, you shouldn't force your child to "think what you think is right".

That is to say: as a teacher, you should respect the children's ideas! Tony said 2+2=22, as a math teacher, you should respect him. Otherwise, you will stifle the imagination of the child!

If, as a teacher, you stifle your child's imagination, do you think "this answer" is still important?

In fact, this is very contradictory, equivalent to "truth and future", the answer is important, or is the future important??

If the "answer" limits the future, then what is the value of the answer?

From the perspective of a female math teacher, 2+2=4 is the correct answer and must be implemented.

Student Tony's answer is 2+2=22, and I will stick to it.

Truth, or the future, which is more important?

Attention, Tony, must have his reasons, otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on 2+2=22. Tony has his point of view to support the answer 22. Maybe Tony's argument is more naïve, who knows!

Here, there is a hypothesis: what if, Tonny's answer is correct?

It's a question worth thinking about, what if Tony's answer is right? Isn't it that it means that 2+2=4 is wrong?—— is wrong, do you still have to stick to it??

Tony, who only gives the answer 22, does not list the derivation formula. The little boy insisted on the answer 22, and the female math teacher objected to the answer ?—— 22. - So who's wrong??

Tony said: 2+2=22 is right, and I insist that it is correct.

Note: Tony must have a basis for supporting 22, but Tony didn't say anything about this basis.

As for the female math teacher?—— she only values the final answer, but never values the "formula". When she saw that Tony's answer was 22, she immediately judged it to be "wrong". - Is that right?—— is it, stifling the child's imagination??

Truth or the future, which is more important?

The truth is 2+2=4, and the future is the child's imagination. Which is important??

Or: the answer, with the child's imagination space, which is important?—— even if you get this answer, and how can it help in the future?

This is "the truth and the choice of the future"; note that the "answer" is not the truth! The truth is constantly being verified. What is true today may be overturned in the future.

Female math teacher, insisting on 2+2=4 - correct!

Elementary school student Tony, insisting on 2+2=22 - with the future.

See, this is a collision of ideas, and the female math teacher is trying her best to correct Tony's mistakes. In the female math teacher's perception, Tony's answer 22 is wrong.

What is the view of the leadership of Tony's school?

The school believes that female math teachers should not force children to "think that the answer is correct", and let the students find the answer by themselves.

According to the parents, they say: the teacher's mind is "Nazi" and forcibly instilled "what she thinks is right."

Here, there is the question of whether the correct answer or method is mandatory for students to master???

Or: the correct answer or method must be accepted by the student.

According to Tony, the leadership of his school, and the opinions of the people. They argue that "there is no need for students to force acceptance." Students, they should have their own opinions. - Is that right??

From the point of view of 2+2=4, this is the opinion of the female math teacher;

As for the school and the public?—— their position is different from that of a female math teacher.

Look at Tony again, 2+2=22, this is Tony's answer, and he is insisting that his answer is right. Faced with a harsh correction from his math teacher, Tony chose to "leave in anger".

This means that Tony thinks: "The teacher's answer is wrong". In other words, 2+2=4 is not right, and Tony can't accept that this is a wrong answer.

Attention! Each, with different positions, and without compromise.

The position of parents and school leaders is: The answer is not important! You must respect the child's imagination and do not let the "answer" "imprison" the child's mind! The children's tomorrow is unimaginable and immeasurable.

Note that the position of the school and the parents is from the perspective of the child Tony. First, I turn myself into a child, and then I think, what would happen to me?

This is from the child's point of view, for the sake of the child. The main thing is to protect the child's nature! The child's mind is very simple. When they see the stars, they think, "What do the stars look like?"

In addition, schools and parents have also seen the "disadvantages of blindly pursuing the right answer", which will make children become rigid and rigid (and sophisticated).

Summary: The leadership of the school and the parents are protecting the child's nature from the perspective of the child. They don't think it matters what the answer is, 2+2=4, or 2+2=22? Important: children have the ability to think and judge for themselves.

Note: Moreover, the school's leadership and parents, are willing to believe that Tony's answer is right; 2+2=22 They want to believe it, and that's right. This is to protect the child's mind and not want him to be hurt—— excuse me, is there something wrong??

The American people have the same opinion as their parents, they think: this female math teacher is too cruel! She hurt the heart of the child Tony. Imagine a little boy, who is only about ten years old, and you are his teacher, and you formally say to him: Tony, you are wrong! What would it be like to be in the heart of a child?

Will he deny himself and say, "I'm so stupid.........

What will he do in the future? Will he still insist on his own ideas??—— what the teacher says is the truth and cannot be questioned; ?——the main point of this is that the child's values have changed! He no longer believes in his own judgment.

- Who is wrong??

Female math teacher, insisting that 2+2=4 is the correct answer.

Child Tony, insist on 2+2=22, he does not change.

One is a teacher, the other is an elementary school student, who is wrong??

Attention, the teacher's answer is correct, but that doesn't mean that Tony's answer is wrong.

The math teacher only saw the result of 22, and she didn't ask Tony how the formula was listed. Exactly Tony, insisting that he is right and will never compromise!Why is Tony so determined??

Attention, if Tony is right??—— he doesn't list the formula, he just gives the result 22. If Tony's 2+2=22 is correct?—— it should also be regarded as "wrong".

The math teacher, insisted, was wrong. She was trying her best to correct his mistakes! The teacher helped him realize his mistakes.

- Who's right??

Truth or the future, which is more important?

Let's continue with the second revelation of "2+2=22":

Note: From a philosophical point of view, this math problem will have a different kind of inspiration! I think this problem is very good! It can reflect "democracy and politics".

Little Tony, the answer: 2+2=22.

Female math teacher, the answer is 2+2=4.

Note: This is a collision of two different points of view! The teacher's point of view is solid, and a consensus has been formed and is generally accepted.

Little Tony's point of view is relatively unique, and it is strongly opposed by the female math teacher!

From the point of view of governing the country, both of these answers are correct.

2+2=22 is correct, it is used internally, to increase the people's salary, and to enhance the people's social welfare and happiness! This is a symbol of the people's wealth and the country's strength.

Little Tony's answer is very good when used in the country's internal governance! Improve the people's welfare and increase salaries, so that the people's happiness will be improved.

2+2=4 is the answer of the female math teacher, which is used in the official regulations at the national level. The state, the institutions, should be careful and not waste taxpayers' money.

Good steel is used on the blade, and it cannot be wasted! Time and opportunity wait for no one. Today's waste will be the bane of tomorrow.

The second hand of time, straight forward; Every decision must be made to ensure that it is correct. Because you can't waste time.

2+2=4 is about "the public service of the state, in the use of money, should be careful in the use of money". This money is a tax paid by the people, and it is used to devote itself to the development of the country.

Wasting taxpayers' money is tantamount to delaying the country's development. 2+2=4 indicates that the country's institutions and personnel should be careful in their calculations, how much has been invested in each expenditure, and how much has been returned?

The cost of the project should be weighed against the trade-offs, so that waste is avoided. Spending beyond your means is also a waste, and time waits for no one.

Projects and strategies must ensure their correctness, otherwise they will be a dowry for the enemy! Your delay is a help to the enemy.

In this way, when you are injured, you cannot blame your enemies, only yourself. The core concept of 2+2=4 is: the country, the institution, to be careful with the budget. It is also a sin to refrain from extravagance and waste of time.

Time doesn't turn back, it doesn't wait for you. Taxation is used to develop the country, and your waste delays the development of the country. This is a dowry for the enemy!

Time, for every country, is fair, depending on whether you cherish it.

Summary: 2+2=4 is correct; it is used for "careful planning" at the national, institutional, and level. Ensure the "correctness" of every strategy and project.

In the use of tax revenue, 2+2=4 requires careful budgeting. Every dollar in the tax is handed over by the people, and you are not allowed to waste it.

Taxes: It has defense taxes, education taxes, and other taxes; Your waiting, your delay, your waste is a dowry for the enemy.

No matter how much money there is, it doesn't need to be on key projects, how can the country develop?

Therefore, 2+2=4 indicates that the state, institutions, and the use of tax revenues must be carefully calculated and not wasted.

Failing to make ends meet is a waste, and wasting time is also a sin.

Note!2+2=22 This is the attitude of the state, the institution, to the people.

2+2=22 refers to the fact that the country should improve the welfare of the people, increase the wages and benefits of the people, and improve the people's sense of happiness.

Institutions at the national level should achieve "self-denial";2+2=4.

In the face of the people, the state should "give" and "tolerate"; to give is to increase welfare, salaries and benefits, and improve the people's sense of happiness, which means "I give it to you."

"Rong" ?—— Rong, which means: the national level tolerates you and can tolerate "you".

2+2=22 indicates that at the national level, the big belly is given, giving the people benefits, salary, treatment, and happiness!

Okay, so let's go back to that answer at the end;

Group A: Little Tony, firmly say 2+2=22 - I insist!

Group B: The female math teacher insisted that 2+2=4 was the correct answer.

Who is right about 2+2=4 and 2+2=22???

At the national level: Group B 2 + 2 = 4 = internal institutions should be "self-denial".

Group A 2 + 2 = 22 = "given" and "tolerated" to the people.
