If you are adept at "math", particularly informal logic (you could argue that math is a subset of logic, but I digress), you literally cannot comprehend how rare this talent is. (And how many people think they have this talent, but don't.)

Do I seem normal to you?

Well, my intellectual abilities are in the 98th percentile. 99th percentile, for women. That isn't very impressive, on the scale of a world population of 8 billion. But forming a government out of people with _at least_ my logical abilities is difficult, as so many of us are tied up in other important projects (like Nostr 😁). If you are not extremely careful, your government will consist mostly of people

WHO CANNOT REASON CLEARLY AND THEREFORE HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

Look at Germany. Learn from our mistakes. Do not allow yourself to be ruled by kind, well-meaning people who cannot think through a complex argument or handle conditionals and variables, and the weighing of eventualities.

They will seem smart.

They will sound smart.

They are smart!

But not like that, tho.

Its worse than that. Honestly.

They think math doesn't matter.

Math is mean.

But doesn't get you elected.

Socialising. Endlessly. With midwits. Announcements. Conferences. Fundraisers. Gets you elected.

As long as you can lie fluently and keep your thoughts inside the Party Line.

High school never ends.

I've had jobs where I've had to interface with MPs.

Most people have no idea how TRUE your last statement really is (for them).

Oh, I know. Every foray I've made into politics brought me head-to-head with the Party Quarterback.

I don't just act like this, on the Internet.
