Episode Ep 6: Numbers Will Kill You! Numbers Will Save You!
Numbers can help you see the world clearly — or they can be turned into a weapon against you. This week, a masterclass in spotting the difference.
Welcome to episode 6 of Watching the Wheels, hosted by Amit Varma, Shruti Rajagopalan and Pranay Kotasthane.
In this episode, we go deep on why numbers matter, where they mislead us even with the best intentions, and the deliberate tricks used to bend numbers into propaganda.
