    A LOT of the “misunderstandings” about the world stem from people having nonreal concept of numbers. Especially anything that is rural vs urban and population. People who know everyone in their 900 person town have no concept of the million large city nearby. Also money, which creates the whole “I can work hard and become a millionaire” idiocy. Like ok, if you work your entire life and spend nothing but absolute basics you might have a million or two in savings, when you die.
