I've just always been a bit of a dork.
Data scientist is just a sexed up word for statistician.
Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge.
I guess I don't like the people in politics very much, to be blunt.
Plenty of pundits have really high IQs, but they don't have any discipline in how they look at the world, and so it leads to a lot of bullshit, basically.
Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge: the serenity to accept the things we cannot predict, the courage to predict the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
