  • Does a set of data make you feel more comfortable? More successful? Then your interpretation of it is likely wrong. In a surprisingly moving talk, Susan Etlinger explains why, as we receive more and more data, we need to deepen our critical thinking skills. Because it's hard to move beyond counting things to really understanding them.

    Rarely have I heard someone make so trivial a point (analyze the data, don't accept the given analysis - or lack thereof - at face value) in so many words.

    • @brooped
      @brooped 9 років тому +2

      Nope, not a bad title. It definitely refers to the future, not the current. The question "What do we do with all this data?" does not refer to the current in any grammatical sense. Rather, it is almost equivalent to the question "What should we do with all this data?"
      The question "What are we doing with all this data?" would refer to the current. The title is correct, you just understood it wrong.

    The comments made on this video made me realize she's right. Most people don't have any critical skills at all.
    It was a great presentation, she made very valid points.
    Facts need to be analyzed carefully and from different perspectives, cause-effect is not the only way to reach conclusions, correlations are not so simple to understand.
    We need smarter people more than ever to face new challenges ahead.

    • @Markus9705
      @Markus9705 9 років тому

      ***** Fascism is the idea that the state is bigger and more important than the individual. An Orwillian society is just like that; the state must be served and "protected" to all cost, even if this means enslaving the individual. "Big data" is nothing more than that; seeing the interests of the state as more important than the freedom of individual.
      In order to live in an Orwillian state you must give up your private life and serve the state with all information you have, because - you know - the state knows better than you.

      I know for a fact that any governing system involving people will corrupt almost immediately. That's the way people operate in general: benefits for my friends, screw everyone else.

  • @trumenbukowski804

    It may be unoriginal... which is fine. But the big problem I have with it is that she is talking about a totalitarian world she doesn't want to be part of yet supporting an effort to shape the thinking of individuals using government money. I mean come on.

    @cisqorouter 9 років тому +4

    This is a prime example of using many words, and saying nothing. She is talking about being able to spot false correlations/etc, and yet making many herself in this talk. While I understand that there is a 12.5 minute timeframe to fit this in, removing substance in lieu of timeframe is tragic.
    I know for a fact, this speaker is an expert in her field and should be taken seriously, but this is not a speech that I would point to as a shining example.

  • @mctm1221
    @mctm1221 9 років тому

    All those people who made the negative comments really have a short attention span as they did not listen to the whole point of the talk. she said we need to be more critical of how we use data. Please listen again and open your mind a bit ... being negative about every thing you hear only makes you stupid.
