There’s No Algorithm For Wisdom. “Who needs wisdom when we have such exquisite algorithms?” A young data scientist asked me this question when I was at Airbnb. I could tell he was half-serious, so I pulled out a pen and paper and drew this pyramid (if you know me well enough, you know I have “pyramid-envy”). While we may live in an era awash in data, information, and knowledge, what we desperately need is understanding, insight, and wisdom. |
