My first article from Wellington: it's about some weird things I've noticed about tech people and their weird phobia of observation and empirical thinking.
Tech's empiricism problem | deadSimpleTech
The tech industry has extreme difficulty integrating information that doesn't have its source in an overtly rationalist process. In practice, this means that we tend to think that if you can't give a logical chain of deductions that proves that something is the case, your information is worthless. The issue with this is that day-to-day, in the tech world and outside of it, the vast bulk of the information we use to make decisions isn't this kind of information.
