Episode 59 - Math
Why are we good at some mathematical concepts and bad at others? Why is it that we can intuitively know how to throw a baseball to another person but we can't figure out how many cups of water fill a vase? David and I discuss these questions and others as we make a case for math education.
We also get sidetracked for a bit about ivermectin and how grifters misuse real information. Because that's the sort of thing that happens around here.
