    Well, our brain obviously can’t understand 1 million individual items independently at once, that’s not how we’re wired. But we do understand what 1000 times more means conceptually.

    I do understand what I can buy with 1000 dollars. We don’t need to see every dollar as a individual entity in our minds to understand 1000 dollars.
