Filtering out information is an art, not a science, necessitated by the information overload that we live in.

  • Watch out for the tendency to only preserve information that meshes with how we think the world should be.
  • If you think the world is all art, you miss how much stuff is too complicated to think about intuitively.

If you think the world is all data, you’ll miss how much is too complicated to summarize in a statistic.
