Ask HN: Teach kids 1,2,3 or 1,2,4

We all teach babies to count with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. There's even a great The BeatBuds song, ah hem, "The Counting Song", that's all about this. But wouldn't it be better to teach kids to count with: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024 ? No seriously, right from the start of your human math career this would be much better to start with. Things double. They go to infinity quickly and reach some max. (Well in a computer they reach a max, in 3D-Spacetime yet to be determine.) You can come back and learn the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 sequence later. But better to move on to: 3,6,12,24,48,96,192,384,768,1536 And then: 9,18,36,72,144,288,576,1152,2304,4608 And then our new humans will be the best ever at traditional base 2 computers PLUS the exciting new world of stuff like: https://www.dwavesys.com/tutorials/background-reading-series/introduction-d-wave-quantum-hardware where you don't start at 1 then double 2,4,8 but rather you start at 3 and double to 6,12,24! You'd have to string 3 dwavesys bits together to make a bit with 9 possible positions but then you have a computer that starts with 9 and doubles to 18,36,72,144 and now we're on the right track to finally solve quantum entanglement.
