Hollywood actor Terrence Howard created a new logic called "Terryology". His objective is create a new math from scratch.

"This is the last century that our children will have to be taught that one times one is one".

The proof: twitter.com/terrencehoward/status/925754491881877507

First page of the proof.

[Anonymous No.9568001]

(1) + (1*1) = 2
3 =2

To his credit, the rest follows from this mistake.

Even logical people can have these weird delusions. My father has a PhD in the life sciences but comes up with all these weird pseudo-scientific ideas about cosmology. I think its pretty normal.

Problem is this guy has had the spotlight on him for a decent part of his life which probably makes him think these ideas are undeniably correct or something.

You need to include the square in row 4 column 4 to create balance. The duality of the 1st one cancels the additional number out. What you get is:
1 (that's in 2 layers)
1 (that's invisible and subtle)
If you fold open the red corner and drag half of it into the other square, you get the true answer, which is:
1 (1/2) + -1 (1/2)
Alternatively:
2 + -1

Well hold on, just because he's black doesn't discount the theory.

Let's put it to the test. Let's examine it with all the rigorous platitudes of any other theory, and only then should we conclude if this is plausible or not. If you allow racism into science, you will surely miss out on revolutionary ideas and technologies that will better our planet.

No but you can't be impressionable. And once you've been convinced of something, it's hard to break that conviction.

There are plenty of otherwise smart people who fell for one dumb thing, and then are smart enough to reason away any contradicting evidence. Look at all the times a scientist talks about something outside his field. Look up anything Neil DeGrasse Tyson's said about politics.

This poor fool is simply attempting to do in mathematics what got him through the rest of his life: spewing all sorts of bullshit decorated with fancy sounding words in an attempt to confuse readers into accepting his thesis. By loading things with buzzwords, it gives readers the impression that the knows what he's talking about and that anyone that disagrees with him is labelled stupid or bigoted or some other ad hominid. This is the case in all non-rigorous fields and areas of study divorced from reality.

[Anonymous No.9571330]

In 2050, scientific truth will be replaced with "critical truth". Critical truth indicates that all traditional truths are heavily influenced by white, western thinking and therefore biased against people of colour and their traditional logical rationals.

It's not fair for white people to criticize the logic of a man of color because of their implicit biases. We must understand that Terrance is speaking critical truth that us white people can't comprehend.

>"when (a) and (b) are positive integers, that (a) is to be added to itself as many times as there are units in (b)"
Okay, so then 1 x 1 = 2
1 x 2 = 3
1 x 3 = 4
etc

2 x 1 = 4
2 x 2 = 6
2 x 3 = 8
etc

I am following the logic.

So is his proof saying that only 1*1 = 2 or does 3*3 = 6 etc. as well?

[Anonymous No.9571466]

>>9571395
The white man has kept afriKANGZ down for years by hiding this knowledge from them. Wakandans broke FREE from the CHAINS and discovered the hidden knowledge.

>>9571402
No. In the lower part of his proof he says that:
For number a multiplied by number b, you add a to itself b amount of times.

So this means 1*1 = 2 = 1+1 and also most likely that 2*1 = 4 = 2+2

But it makes no sense because you don't add to itself, you add to zero
1*1 = 1 = 0+1
2*1 = 2 = 0+2

And due to his wording, it would then make sense that:
1*1 = 1+1 = 2
1*2 = 1+1+1 = 3
2*1 = 2+2 = 4
2*1 =/= 1*2

...

[Anonymous No.9571479]

>>9571466
also, incredibly:
a = 1x1 = 2 = 1+1
a x a = (2) x (2) = 2+2+2 = 6

The sum when you start is 0. You add (a) to the sum as many times as (b)
so
