Our society's obsession with Data and Information leads to a series of systematic errors in both our understanding of the world and how we approach all kinds of problems we face. We refuse to accept that DATA and INFORMATION cannot solve what are fundamentally ethical problems. In any case, many of our challenges are not soluble but aspects of the human condition that can only be addressed in different ways depending on circumstances.Image attribution: SketchplanationsSign-up for Wes’s PATREON to get your questions answered by Wes!Plus, gain access to peer conversation, course materials, reading lists, bonus lectures, and Wes’s weekly diaries from France.
