Clearly a corollary is "Never trust the math of people with causes" [whether those causes are personal greed or social justice].<br /><br />I remember my sister buying jewelry on 6 month credit in her 20s, and I tried to explain the 20% interest she was paying was a lot, but she wasn't impressed when I calculated that meant $12/month extra. She thought it was fair. So math knowledge still doesn't protect people. And probably the base price was marked up by a factor of 4 anyway, even after a fake discounted sale price "$400 gold-plated necklace, now 50% off!" or whatever nonsense it was. Ignorance can be bliss for a long time.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-50369226979651729332021-03-08T14:01:35.688-08:002021-03-08T14:01:35.688-08:00Something relevant: ethnoscience!
