I've thought this for many years now, in a round about way, but have never discussed it with anybody because...embarrassing? Insane? Absurd? Dunno...
It goes like this. There are 7,700,000,000 people in the world. I am one (1) person. What's of larger importance: my welfare or everybody else's welfare? Mathematically speaking, overwhelmingly the latter....by a factor of 7,699,999,999.
I've heard it said that mathematics is the most truthful and reliable type of science.
Thoughts?
