Important point here: You are not representative. If you are on Hacker News, you have probably been called brilliant at least once. You are almost certainly, given that you don't seem to be a non technical co-founder in a startup, in the top 5% of the population for mathematical/logical(not necessarily arithmetic) abilities. Just because you find the calculations tedious does not mean that most people don't benefit from them. From what I recall, most people forget a concept that they are exposed to once and only once. |

That's because I learn to program. If people learn to program, they'll be more "mathematical/logical" too. I am "brilliant" through hard work and curiosity, not because I have high IQ.

I meant we humans suck at calculation. We are not like computers that can follow steps perfectly. Even when we know the steps, we often get the answer wrong due to our mistakes in following the steps.

What make you think it doesn't apply to me or to the rest of people on hacker news?
