A new thesis I’m trying out: people have no sense of scale. Related to our inability to understand power laws. The difference between “Facebook has 1B users” and “FB has 10B users” doesn’t feel like much because 1B is so many, but it’s enormous. Literally *30* Twitters.

The wall street version of "law of large numbers" applies at 10B users, though (due to population being what, 7B?)
