Hi Alonso
I have found that about 75% of people can't or don't want to count
Stuff has moved too fast for peoples brains to accomadate
My late father was in business all of his life so was familiar with money as it was necessary in his business
But when he got older although he would dicker about 20 cents extra on an item if the figure was $1000 he tended to accept it
I have still not got familiar with metric measurements even though in work I have had to use them and do conversions on the fly
If someone says a person is six feet tall, I have an instant picture in my brain of that person and how tall they are, if they say 1.8 meters I have to do a calculation, automatic but still a delay on the brain
How many people have a picture of one trillion dollars ?
To the majority of the people it might as well be a comment in Chinese or Arabic because it certainly does not mean anything ( no brain picture) in English
Try to explain to people that if Victoria was powered 100% by solar most of Victoria would be covered in solar panels
Try to explain that Australia produces about 0.04% of CO2 so what does changing all our cars to EV do to that figure
It is not science it is pure mathematics which anyone can do but they can't because they simply do not understand what is happening, it has all changed so fast, their brains have not been able to move that fast
