I could care less if people wanna join my forum. I make zero income from owning it.
It exists for people to lurk all they want to, and with over ten million views, they certainly do lurk, and lurk, and lurk. Then lurk some more.

I never use that word, so I was unaware of that.
I don't use it either. Derogatory remarks and insults are not allowed in my home. The only word I sometimes use irl when someone pisses me off is cunt.

You could care less if people visit it... yet you maintain it as the Place to Be for the wildly popular sport indulged by millions of lurkers (bots) that home in on your linkfeces in your sig...
Something here just ain't adding up.

While 2 + 2 = 5 is mathematically incorrect, the answer you seek could be:Why is 2+2=5?
It's from the book 1984 by George Orwell.
In the novel, it is used as an example of an obviously false dogma that one may be required to believe, similar to other obviously false slogans promoted by "the Party" (a fascist political regime) in the novel.
The protagonist, Winston Smith, wonders if the Party will declare that something so patently false as "2+2=5" to be a true fact. He then contemplates: if everyone believes it to be true, does that make it true?
The Party's interrogator of thought-criminals says of the obviously false statement that if one aligns their perceptions to what the Party wills, then any act is possible, in accordance with the principles of doublethink. Doublethink is the ability to hold two conflicting or competing ideas in one's mind and truly believe that both are true ("Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once").
In 1984, Orwell writes:
In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?
George Orwell used this concept before publishing 1984. During his career at the BBC, he became familiar with the methods of Nazi propaganda. In an essay published in 1943, Orwell wrote:
Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as "the truth" exists. ... The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, "It never happened" – well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five – well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs.
Most recently, the concept of "alternative facts," coined by Kellyanne Conway, has prompted people to compare the Trump administraion's desire to control the media narrative to the concept of "2+2=5" and "doublethink" in 1984.
For example, many people viewed the pictures of Trump's inauguration and were able to see with their own eyes that the crowd was smaller than Obama's. However, the Trump administration has used principles of doublethink to assert that only facts published by them—as opposed to the "lying mainstream media"—can be true.
