      I’ve always wondered about questions like but WHY is π more than 3 and less than 4? why is e sandwiched between 2 and 3? whether those questions even made sense An internet cat explained why we should find e between 2 and 3.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1399150767500447745 …

      intuitively you will sense that with this compounded growth, you will get MORE than x2 (obviously) but probably less than x3 and that's correct. the more you break down the payments to allow compounding to happen ASAP the more u approach the limit of 2.718...

      If you know why π is between 3 and 4 — if that’s even meaningful to you — please explain.

      a lot of these “weird” numbers are just artifacts of using base 10. you could imagine that nature itself thinks in pi and e and wonders why hoomans count in this weird 1, 2, 3, 4, ... notation and y they even bothered upgrading from the i, ii, iii, iv,... notation

          So that’s exactly it, isn’t it. π would be between 3 and 4 regardless of which base. 3 is the number after the number after 1. So what is the relationship between circularity or sinusoidal waves and counting?

          We often define π as the ratio of circumference to diameter, but I think starting at circularity/ sinusoidal waves and trying to connect π to counting is a mistake

          0/1/2/3/4/... arise from set theory, they are very much not arbitrary!
