1x1 = 2

1x2 = 4

1x3 = 6

That’s in a perfect world.

They teach us 1x1=1

My mind is now super open.

7x1 should be 14

Not 7 because it’s multiplying. I’m not a mathematician. This is no disrespect to the math scholars. This is just a Terrance Howard type audit.

1x7 would be still 14, how? In my opinion: You have one thing, (1) times it by 1 giving you a theoretical 2. Instead it doesn’t multiply and stays the same.

So how is 1x7 or 7x1 the same thing. (7) Is the key to the equation. Multiply it one time you get 14.

“I’m dumb, lol.”

(1) Multiply: meaning multiple of the number like (7) times 1 should not be 7. It should be 14 because of the power of 1. I know it’s a rhetorical version of addition. The bastard child of addition in a sense lol.

The number one is the most disrespected number ever.

“in my opinion.”

Well I guess we can go with their conventional math. There is a reason for their miscalculated multiplying of 1. I guess, I’m not a math wise and Instantly stay in my lane.

“Thanks to Terrance Howard for the eye opening view of it…
