Med Big Data vinder en "ny" interessant virkelighed tilsyneladende indpas: The ideal of identifying casual mechanisms is a self-congratulatory illusion; big data overturns this. Yet again we are at a historical impasse where "god is dead". That is to say, the certainties that we believed in are once again changing. But this time they are being replaced, ironically, by better evidence... What role is left for intuition, faith, uncertainty, acting in contradiction of the evidence, and learning by experience ?
As the World shifts from causation to correlation how can we pragmatically move forward without undermining the very foundations of society, humanity, and progress based on reason?
Måske en sandhed med modifikationer?
