If everybody believes in it, does that make it true?

2 + 2 = 5

"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, 1984

"Two plus two equals four is nice, but two plus two equals five is nicer"
Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground
