Bias All-Around
- Many experiments show that people can be biased and even irrational in making decisions.
- While we believe that logic, facts, data go in any decision, in reality, they can be emotional and biased in invisible ways.

If You Want to Be Creative, Don't Be Data Driven
Beau Lotto
Data is Not Reality
- We see organizations and the engineers who work in them steering towards big data, so it is commonly assumed that data means acumen and direction.
- Any Data, by itself, does not bring clarity. Data is just information, not reality. It does not represent anything in the field of actuality.
- Data is also, never complete. Getting more and more Data does not equate to getting more clarity.
Incomplete Data is Misleading
Our brains like to fill up incomplete information based on our prejudice and confirmation bias.
As all data is inherently incomplete, we use our minds to fill the missing information, based on the existing data we have, and that can go obverse.

6 of the largest decision-making blunders

Emotionally driven decisions. Hold off on making important decisions when you are in a bad mood.
Confirmation bias. Always look for conflicting evidence and then make judgments based on more well-rounded information.
Ego depletion. When we're drained, physically or mentally, we're less likely to think critically.
The halo effect says that once we like somebody, we're more likely to look for his or her positive characteristics and avoid the negative ones. Realize your biases toward certain people and do what you can to eliminate them.

Storytelling is essential to living
Stories are the primary way through which we make sense of our world. We explain ideas by telling stories.
Even science uses storytelling when they use data of the physical world to ex...
Where science and story meet
Despite the verities of science, we feel compelled to tell stories that venture beyond the facts.
When we first see separate ideas, we feel obliged to find a relationship between the ideas to form a coherent picture. Once a possible relationship has been established, we feel the need to come up with an explanation.
The brain’s reward system
When the brain pieces separate bits of an image together to form a coherent picture, it is known as pattern recognition. Once we recognize a pattern, it can spark a degree of pleasure, often described as that "a-ha" moment.
