We should teach children is arithmetic.

Equations, they could calculate interest and make investments/ if we taught them probability, they'd understand polls and predictions. If we taught them logic, they wouldnt be fooled by scams.

You're making my point for me.

If they understood differential equations, they wouldnt max out their credit cards. If they understood probability, they'd never buy lottery tickets. If we taught them logic, they wouldnt buy products that do nothing

In short: If people understood math, the economy would tank immediately.

My god.

I never realized innumeracy was the major driver of economic growth.
