There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Data allow your political judgments to be based on fact, to the extent that numbers describe realities.
Political ideology can corrupt the mind, and science.
I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.
Facts and data, rather than opinion, are the two cornerstones of problem solving, and yet they are consistently withheld from the people by American media. We must have facts and data in order to recognize where there is a problem!
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
You want to keep intelligence separate from policy.
We give you the facts. I told you information is power - knowledge is power. We can't be in an ideological battle to redeem the soul of this country if we don't have the facts.
That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.
People are saying, 'Big Data is the new oil.'
The answers to today's most important scientific, business, and social problems lie in data.
