Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice
Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs
Right-wing ideology and numeracy: A perception of greater ability, but poorer performance

In all seriousness thank God for the Arabic number system. It would be a nightmare to use Roman numerals for math
And a second shoutout to the Hindu invention of the concept of 0.
Base-10 is objectively terrible, though. Too many fundamental principles of geometry rely on 1:3 and 1:6 ratios that can’t be properly depicted in Base-10.
If there were a god, they would have given us 6 digits on each hand, inspiring us to develop a base-12 number system.
All number systems are base 10. It’s just that we define the 1 in 10 as meaning x x x x x x x x x x quantity. Binary is base 10 with 10 equating to 2 in the decimal base.
