Cool. What are your thoughts on this story? Because it's kinda frowned on to just post links to stuff without providing any actual discussion or thoughts.

2+2=5 is not mathematically correct in standard arithmetic, as 2+2 always equals 4. However, the equation 2+2=5 can symbolize various ideas and concepts in different contexts. For example, in George Orwell's novel "1984," it represents the way totalitarian governments can manipulate the truth and control their citizens through altering their perceptions of reality. In other words, while 2+2=5 is not a valid arithmetic statement, it can carry symbolic meaning in various frameworks.
2+2=5 can symbolize fake news or lies that have been accepted as truth by brainwashed people on the far right and the far left of any political spectrum.

By that logic, can't 1+1=3 just symbolize having a baby?

It's not the same.

It's not the same.

Well, if you're making the argument about "2+2=5", you're not going to find many things that are "exactly" the same.

I'm too lazy to watch those videos. Care to summarize?

I'm too lazy to watch those videos. Care to summarize?

The videos highlight various issues related to corruption in China.
Watch videos at 1.5x ~ 2x speed.
.

Here are some key factors that contribute to corruption in China:
A one-party political system that lacks checks and balances
A culture of guanxi (relationships) and patronage networks that can lead to favoritism and cronyism
Weak anti-corruption enforcement and legal mechanisms
Rapid economic growth that has created opportunities for corruption and graft
Cultural norms that prioritize the collective over the individual, which can encourage a "win at all costs" mentality
Basically, it's a combination of political, economic, and cultural factors that have created an environment that's ripe for corruption.
