This is part of the mindset I'm referring too. For example, 2+2 = 4. This mathematical statement has been self-evident and uncontroversial for thousands of years, across an almost infinite array of societies. The idea that this simple, self-evident mathematical statement is disputed by anyone, let alone "serious" academics in some of our most prestigious universities (the ones churning out our next generation of "leaders") is a new phenomenon, and one that should be very concerning.
