I apologize for beginning this book with a sucker punch. (Maybe some part of me wanted company. I fell for the Golden Ratio hook, line, and sinker when I first heard it.a) The Golden Ratio is not interesting because it’s true. It’s interesting because the idea survives and continues to attract believers even though it is known to be wrong. In that way, it’s an object lesson for this book. Knowing what to believe is a problem.
