There are two maths we can decide to build our understanding of the world on.
The first is a math built on scarcity. This math believes there is only a finite amount of joy, happiness, money, jobs, and infrastructure to support us all. So if someone else has something else, it by definition means that there is less of that in the world for me now.
That’s why a lot of us scramble to get as much as we can as fast we can, because there is a limited supply.
The other math is built on abundance. This math believes joys generates more joy, happiness generates more happiness, more jobs create more jobs, and more money creates more money (for all of us). In this world, there can be plenty to go around and be shared, especially if we (me and you) take it upon ourselves to create more, which in turn creates more, which in turn creates more. The flywheel spins and spins.
Which math should we teach our children?
