  • Technically a base 1 system cannot exist (effectively), because it would mean you were counting from zero (nothing). All base systems for real “math” have to index from null. You couldn’t even count using 0, 00, 000, 0000 because how would you know if the first 0 indicated actually zero, or was it the first item? You could only identify it by the absence of all marks, which doesn’t work in math or any modern setting.

    Number systems are weird. I hate math sometimes.

    I mean, you joke, but environmental pollution (lead) levels and certain nutritional deficits have a scientifically measurable effect on mental health disorder rates and general intelligence.

    The use of leaded gasoline put a huge amount of environmental lead into our living spaces and breathing air. When it was completely phased out in the 1970’s and environmental exposure dropped, murder rates dropped by the 1990s in what’s known as the lead-crime hypothesis, where childhood exposure to lead of any level alters development negatively.
