Remember “new math”? It was summed up satirically by a songwriter named Tom Lehrer in this way: “…in the new approach, as you know, the important thing is to understand what you’re doing, rather than to get the right answer.”
Somehow in the 1960s, when the Soviets put a primitive object into space, we suddenly needed to teach our kids that in some mathematical systems, 2 + 2 can be something other than 4. While there is a kernel of truth that undergirds the concept, I am compelled to ask, of what use is it when so many people can’t count change in a supermarket?
Perhaps you have heard about “fuzzy math”? It’s actually used in the science of “artificial intelligence”. According to one definition, fuzzy math is based on “fuzzy logic”, and “fuzzy logic is a form of multi-valued logic derived from fuzzy set theory to deal with reasoning that is approximate rather than precise.” Huh?
Oh, I get it; obviously this is the modus operandi of Congress, reasoning that is approximate rather than precise. Actually, government has raised this from a science to an art form and extended it to the entire notion of truth.
Unfortunately when it comes to finances, we the American people have done the same thing. In fact, sadly, Congress may be only our own reflection magnified and distorted like a funhouse mirror. We run our financial lives as though 2 + 2 is only 4 when it’s convenient, and fuzzy is about the best word I can come up with to describe how most of us perceive our financial condition.
Sadly, we cannot run our lives or our checkbooks as though truth were something that we cannot define or determine. There is no “new math” that can be used in a checking or savings account. There is nothing fuzzy about debt. We are forced to admit, sooner or later, that financial oblivion eventually leads to pain.
Pent up in the rumbling tide of our financial choices is a tsunami of consequences that cannot be evaded. When the waters rush in, if we have made the wrong choices, if we have pretended that there really is a new math that applies only to us, as we gasp for air, we discover that the only thing that was fuzzy was us.
What if there was something that was so revolutionary and so state of the art, yet so simple and so accurate that it could bring an entirely new level of awareness to our financial understanding? What if technology and financial common sense could create a financial north star that anyone could use to navigate to their destination? What if such a thing were possible? Would you know it, if you saw it? I think you would.
You might be thinking, come on, give me a break; when the student is ready, does the teacher really appear? Check it out. See for yourself. Can you identify with the struggle? Would you appreciate and seek out a possible solution?
