I kind of lose the comparison to the same psychological manhole you get from pure numbers. I wonder if the effect would have been improved by starting with some arbitrarily sized pile of rice for bezos money and then trying to divide it downwards (to where you're scraping the side of a single grain with an exacto for some dust, or looking through a microscope)

Kind of like a "and then there's you" effect
