Introduction
Naively I certainly thought that all humans would have words for exact counting, and the Piraha don't. Okay, so they don't have any words for even one. There's not a word for one in their language. And so there's certainly not a word for two, three or four. And so that blows people's minds often. Yeah, that's blowing my mind.
