10k? 100k? A million?

I am not talking about calculating with numbers, but rather the point where numbers stop being comprehensible, or “no longer mean anything”.

Try visualizing exactly 10000 apples in your mind.

    I don’t think grasping and visualizing are the same. I am sure you can grasp the concept of 3. Like 3 cars waiting on a light, or 3 slices of pizza.

    If the limit was visualizing, the answer would be zero, since some folks can’t visualize at all.

      Always a pleasure when people explain my texts to me. Even more so when I was deliberately unprecise, or not so serious at all 😉
