A highly metaphorical phrase by the poet and historian Michael Dapaah in the song “
Man’s Not
Hot” which speaks out against anti-intellectualism, deems
math to be a discovery and not creation of humans, and communicates that
human opinions themselves are means of self-preservation and coping with pain. But, as Michael Dapaah notes, “metaphorical truths exist to facilitate moral living, not comfortable living. A mathematical fact is a literal
truth, and if 2+2=5 ever becomes a metaphorical truth in a society—remember cultural relativism—knowledge becomes not only a means of power but a vessel of revolution.”
