“You’re smart I’m stupid. We decide to argue. You say 2+2 is 4 I say 2+ 2 is 5 you continue to say it’s 4 I continue to say it’s 5 until I’m enraged,” he said.

Moreover, he also added that he could physically overpower ‘smart’ people and make them bend to his will, even threatening to kill them if they did not agree with him. “Now that I’m enraged, I decide to rip your arms from your body, you say no its still four. I destroy you your chin snaps, your head hits the floor and you die. Who was right seriously who was right about 2+2.”
