The fact that you try to measure how certain your beliefs are impresses me. I try to do the same thing. I think that's why I no longer believe many of the things I have been told. For example, everyone believes that Jimmy Savile was one of the UKs worst sex cases and I was probably about 90% in agreement with them. But when I started thinking about it and looking at the evidence or lack of it this this certainty went down very quickly. I now believe he is probably innocent.
You don't need any maths to see that I am right. You can do it with a spreadsheet quite easily. Use one column for the new total each year and the other for the principal plus the interest plus the annual payment. But if you doubt me then just put these figures into the input boxes at this site : 0,45000,10,Annual,81

If after doing that you have found that a 99% certainly about a belief is wrong then ask yourself what other beliefs might be wrong?
Just drag your totals down another two rows. I said "about 80 years". I'm not a Savile defender. I don't care about him and I was never interested in him. I just use his supposed guilt as example of something nearly everyone believes to be true. Fortunately it is not against the law yet to say that he might be innocent. In the near future I think we are going to be persecuted for rejecting or even doubting beliefs that are "officially true".
According to this there were 'only' 53 British (not UK) billionaires in 2017 - so they must be breeding!

Certainly under the Tories. I'm no fan of the EU, they're pro business, although so are the Tories, and they don't like the Working class either. I voted to remain although the EU has a fair bit of form on shafting workers. Alot of the Workers rights in this country have been implemented by Workers struggle and the Unions, not the EU.

Bill Gates was talking about being taxed yesterday. He has a fortune of 106 billion so if he was asked to give away 100 billion that would be about 94% (and he'd still be very rich). It seems that kind of number is too much for a lot of people, even those without that kind of money, but it's been done before in the US. And of course, he'd probably find a way of giving away less than that.
Picking someone who sued the NHS isn't the cleverest move when trying to stick up for the mega rich

Man who sues the NHS and is in tax exile? Don't fall for believing the politics of envy is a thing. He is hoarding a 2 billion pounds from the economy and dodging tax, why?
Prison for tax evasion.
Donated money and office space to brexit parties because he wants the UK to be a tax haven.
There are no ethical billionaires.
