The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete - 0 views

  • This is a world where massive amounts of data and applied mathematics replace every other tool that might be brought to bear.

  •  
    Murray has more than a few problems as a source but many of his criticisms hit home. Is education so pitiful in it's effect on people? Is that really what the research says because I didn't note much that he cited.
