👉 Ignore math, also known as "ignoring the math," is a psychological phenomenon where individuals deliberately avoid or disregard mathematical reasoning, calculations, or concepts to make decisions or solve problems more easily, often to bypass cognitive effort or reduce anxiety. This can manifest in various ways, such as choosing a less optimal solution simply because it feels "good enough" or relying on intuition rather than quantitative analysis. While it can save time and mental energy, ignoring math can lead to suboptimal decisions or misunderstandings, especially in situations where precise calculations are crucial. It's a common strategy to avoid the discomfort of dealing with numbers or complex computations, but it can hinder problem-solving efficiency and accuracy.
