Here’s a summary of the text with the requested annotations:

The article Coin “Paradox” by Miles Mathis discusses a 1982 SAT math question that, according to various sources like Kyle Hill, The New York Times, and unnamed top mathematicians, had a correct answer of 4, causing a recalculation of 300,000 test scores. Mathis argues that the intuitive and correct answer, based on comparing circumferences, is 3. He contends that the answer 4 was arrived at by misinterpreting the question and tracking the distance traveled by the center of the smaller circle, rather than focusing on its rotation.

Mathis suggests that this misrepresentation of the SAT question is an example of Project Chaos, a broader operation aimed at creating confusion and making people doubt themselves, thereby rendering them easier to control. He links this to the Mandela Effect and other instances where established facts or knowledge are seemingly altered. He also posits that such confusion might be deliberately generated to distract from his own mathematical work, specifically his pi=4 papers, and criticizes Sabine Hossenfelder for allegedly doing so by misusing his vocabulary and discussing his topics without attribution.

The author then delves into a history of college entrance exams, particularly the SAT, which he traces back to a US Army intelligence test. He highlights how the SAT has been significantly “watered down” over the years in terms of difficulty, length, and number of questions, suggesting a decline in intelligence and critical thinking skills. Mathis claims that tests, including SAT, GRE, and Mensa tests, are widely compromised with incorrect answers, often due to societal intellectual decline or deliberate manipulation by entities like the CIA. He uses a personal anecdote from his high school physics team experience, where he found incorrect answers on a test and his teacher dismissed his concerns, to illustrate this systemic issue.

Mathis argues that fields like art, science, literature, politics, economics, and history have been deliberately corrupted by the same individuals—“the children of the very rich”—to serve their own purposes, such as replacing high achievement with propaganda and controlling narratives. He points to changes in cultural standards, like clothing sizes, as further evidence of this “bury the past” mentality and the creation of a “faux-reality.” He concludes that science, like art, has been co-opted to create confusion, siphon funds, and allow unqualified individuals to claim expertise. He specifically criticizes Sabine Hossenfelder’s work on quantum gravity and phenomenological quantum gravity, calling it meaningless and a misapplication of philosophical terms to computer modeling, which he believes stifles true theoretical discovery.
