ABSTRACT
Regard your education as a conspiracy to brainwash you into behaving like a sheep, or a lemming (depending on the quality of your school or the nature of your background). Somewhere, some time (perhaps right here), a teacher will shock you to the realization that the world is only partly arithmetic, that skepticism as to received knowledge, common opinion, and truth bear more intellectual truth than blind belief. In short, you will be led to an examined life. (Hopefully, these days you won’t have to drink hemlock for it.) Consider carefully the differences between arithmetic and logarithmic thinking.
