  Create a system where ignorance of the laws of large numbers means that you go bankrupt and have to work for someone else, thus putting the number-crunchers in charge. This is basically modern capitalism. It works, as a way of managing large numbers. Most people hate it, though, because it has a tendency of reducing humans to numbers.

    "of reducing humans to numbers." Or making them slaves, exploiting children, etc. If the laws allow such

      Same difference: "Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things." -- Terry Pratchett Slaves, exploited children, etc. are just resources whose dollar value you try to maximize and whose wages you try to minimize.
