Harvard University Department of Biostatistics: PhD student Kareem Carr’s productive Twitter dialogue about the abstract nature of mathematics was recently profiled by Popular Mechanics in an article entitled “Why Some People Think 2+2=5…and why they’re right.”
After seeing the impact of both the online dialogue and the recent article, Carr’s “hope is that you understand the flexible relationship between our mathematical systems, our perceptions of the world, and the symbolic manipulations we use to reason about reality. We are not passive observers.”

Critical armchair mathematicians are having a moment after a thread about the created nature of numbers spread on Twitter.
Kareem Carr, a biostatistics Ph.D. student at Harvard University, says that sharing his ideas about numbers and abstraction to a large audience on Twitter helps him find others who think differently and are excited about connecting theory to reality.
And while some bad-faith critics have flooded his notifications with unkind assumptions, he’s still happy to put his ideas out there.
