You must be reading some other tweet. She says nothing about the symbols.So it's a CF thread in the News section about an article in a "news" website (I couldn't figure out what that site was, I've never seen it before) about a tweet that says something DUMB.
[The symbols "2", "4", "+", and "=" are cultural artifacts, but given the definitions we use, "2+2" can only be " = 4". A different would have chosen different symbols. The fact that these symbols dominate the globe does say something about the history of mathematics and the spread and dominance of culture.]
That "2 + 2 = 4" demonstrates the existence of God, in its logic, and order and constancy. Mathematics shows an eternal mind that governs all, whose laws govern everything beneath this Divine Mind. It (mathematics) is a 'universal' language (syntax, structure, form, etc) that applies everywhere.So it's a CF thread in the News section about an article in a "news" website (I couldn't figure out what that site was, I've never seen it before) about a tweet that says something DUMB.

But whose culture? Basic Arabic notation!
No. All Indian, except for the "=" sign, which comes from a Welshman. (Unless "Welshman" is racist like "Chinaman", in which case, "a man who is Welsh".)But whose culture? Basic Arabic notation!
2+2 can also equal 11, imagine that.
Different symbols for different systems!
One might hope things would be a bit more advanced in 2202211.
(and as an aside, there are 10 kinds of people, those that understand binary and those that don't)
This post is transparent.
Were you trying to expose yourself, or do you not realize it?

But the tweet isn't about the symbols, it's about the truth of 2+2=4, which this particular woke academic denies.
