      No, I think it's smarts. US teachers are around at the bottom of the college-educated population in intelligence, so maybe more like 60th-75th percentile. And I think that's low enough for lack of basic arithmetic skills.

      I figured this out from high school, both my peers and tutoring younger kids, but a surprising number of sharp thinkers either never realized or pretend not to know that the median person is innumerate

      what's funny is that smart people have way more of a complex about this than dumb people, who IME tend to be pretty clear-eyed that they're out of their depth in abstract domains

      nerds tend to see ourselves as superior due to our intellect, which is true in a very limited sense but 90% cope. prowess and virtue are NOT the same. the after-school volunteer ladies diligently incorrecting the kids' homework are better people than you and I

      Replying to @St_Rev @sonyasupposedly

      yeah "diligently incorrecting" ... that's like the quadrant of "dumb, but works hard [ at it ]" this is maybe some sort of inner virtue ... but bad, actually? do we want people who are diligently causing harm?

      this is exactly my point, that inner virtue is not consequentialist!

      yes, I agree w this! but hmm I believe in non consequential Virtue ... but I also want my systems in the real world to be formulated around mostly consequentialist / utilitarian methods

          I agree with that too! that's kinda the quiet tragedy and beauty of virtue, no? that's it's not rational and can't be engineered

          "not rational" not meaning irrational, but a-rational
