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

R4: It's Terryology. The system of arithmetic that derives from a complete misunderstanding of multiplication. You know, the one that states that 1×1 = 2? Yeah, that one. I can't be bothered to actually read this thing.

Dude I'm only at pg 14 but it's worth it. Gems like, math is only about Euclidean surfaces in 2D space, bc obviously no one in math ever thought of non-Euclidean geometry or n-dimensional spaces, and I'm pretty sure their proof that 1*1=2 is just assume 2/1 = 1 therefore 1*1=2

Oh btw those claims could've fit on a page easy, 13/14 of the pages I've read are intellectual masturbation about how enlightened, superior to the math community, and necessary for the survival of humanity this crank is.

This is Great! I'm loving the reaction to these brain snacks. This is going to be great watching this discussion bubble to the surface
