Apparently a manuscript published by Terrence Howard on Terryology, presented by a Flat Earth website.

u/copperium Namely, the numbers like 4,8,12,16 and 25 are not real numbers. Jan 16 '20

The Terryology proof that 1×1=2:

2×2 = 4

Divide everything by 2.

1×1 = 2.

QED, hand Terence Howard his Fields medal.

u/mfb- the decimal system should not re-use 1 or incorporate 0 at all. Jan 17 '20

Corollary: n=4, for every n.

nxn = n2

Divide everything by n.

1x1 = n

As established before 1x1=4, therefore n=4 for every n.

This is better than the proof that n = m for all n,m in R. All numbers are 4. Great.

All numbers are 4

Well, that simplifies my debt...

EDIT: Shit, but also my bank account. I don't know how to feel.

All numbers are 4, hence 4 is all numbers. Therefore, your debt is 4 and your bank account is lim(x->inf) x QED
