Consider The SENSE OF SCALE

Consider The SENSE OF SCALE

NOT all things are UNFATHOMABLE.  In fact, most things are.  You DON'T need to second-guess or even make assumptions.  WHEN all the irrefutable facts are there, when there is NOTHING else beyond the deck of cards laid out on the table, then do Consider The SENSE OF SCALE when you're about to draw conclusions.  Otherwise, drawing conclusions based on guestimates and a lot of 'iffffy' statements will never make sense📗📙📘

In real life, to draw a SENSE OF SCALE will need us to simply stick on facts, e.g. if Bill Gates has a net worth of US$ 56 billion, it means he's earning roughly $3,000 per minute [so that's $50 per second] ever since he founded Microsoft [together with his ex-wife Melinda].  So, it is quite easy to draw this conclusion that it DOESN'T make sense for him to spend 5 seconds to pick $100 off the floor.  Just NOT A GOOD USE of his time.  This is drawing a SENSE OF SCALE in real terms💥💥💥

So, if you're like me, that second statement will just make your jaw drop, right?  WHY?  Because 56 billion is just a number BUT $3,000 per minute is something vivid enough to crystallize the numbers in real, imaginable terms.  So, how do we develop that SENSE OF SCALE in life?  Let's consider comparing SIDE BY SIDE BY SIDE.  A common way to put things in perspective is to literally line them up, side by side so to speak.  In short, we need to consider evolving to become 'visual creatures'✅✅✅

Truth is, human nature explains WHY we like to see NOT just to imagine abstract numbers.  To our brains, a million or billion and even trillion all seem like large, vague numbers.  Oh yes, even after Steve Jobs died, Tim Cook of Apple knows this well enough.  Many of their ads compare products to everyday objects, rather than touting their raw dimensions.  WHAT do we hear?  THE MACBOOK FITS IN A MANILA ENVELOPE.  THE iPOD NANO IS AS THICK AS A PENCIL.  YES, you'll get their sizes without busting out a ruler❗❗❗

Our takeaway:  YES it may seem backwards that casual measurements like a pencil's width can be more useful than a count of millimeters BUT hey dude, we are NOT machines!!!  Our everyday life is with pencils, NOT millimeters and we can easily imagine HOW much room a pencil takes.  Zeroing on our life, it helps that we talk things out in concrete, real-life terms, NOT the literary way of verboseness.  Consider the SENSE OF SCALE, dude😌😌😌
