One common feature of various anti-science ideologies is that their adherents lack a sense of scale. #FlatEarthers don’t understand distance, #creationists don’t understand time, #climate change #denialists don’t understand levels of emissions or rate of temperature change, #antivaxers don’t understand population morbidity and mortality. Probably other types of looniness with which I’m less familiar have the same underlying problem.

In a way I sympathize with this, because the numbers are so far outside normal human experience. But learn the #math and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. We’re not talking about anything particularly advanced. Just grasp that intution breaks down when measuring something very large or very small.
