April 26, 2017
Course: INFO 198 / BIOL 106B. University of Washington
Instructors: Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin West
Synopsis: Our world is saturated with bullshit. Learn to detect and defuse it.
The course will be offered as a 1-credit seminar this spring through the Information School at the University of Washington. We aim to expand it to a 3 or 4 credit course for 2017-2018. For those who cannot attend in person, we aim to videotape the lectures this spring and make video clips freely available on the web.

When I was learning Russian, my self study book had the phrase: My father was killed by a tiger. WTH? However, 25 years later it is the one Russian phrase I remember, and can even spell. So your pony metaphor was excellent. Having worked in Big Data, I will use that for sure (with attribution Carl)
О, мой отец был убит тигром. Запомню на ближайшие 25 лет. Хотя, конечно, пример с "существенно большой кучей навоза и пони" - еще лучше. Это я запомню уже до конца жизни! Великолепно, Карл!
Science is rigor and having a lot of data is useless without it. Also, the practical application of the group dynamics that big data provides insight to is nothing to do with big data.
Is Big Data solely quantitative? And how about qualitative data?
Humans are not bias free, are fallible, take in garbage and out put garbage, and have ethical algorithms 🤔😉😁😥
Well, qualitative data needs to be quantified to proceed for data analysis anyway
