How To Find True Information (Part 1)
In part one of how to discover truth in information, we look at the beginning of identifying true information. As an overview in this series, we will not be discussing:
- Politics
- Religion
I have no interest in these areas whatsoever, plus Father Time reveals all truth and Mother Nature despises weakness so what's true in controversial areas will be revealed in time and will always eliminate weakness.
As an applied example of what we learn in this video, we look at examples in journalism and answer the following questions:
- Are journalists behaving irrationally if they post information that may be false, but grabs a lot of attention?
- Why does the 24 hour news cycle make small events large?

If you're interested data to discover the truth, I teach the course Automating ETL, which teaches you how to get data easily so that you can quick analyze data in meaningful ways and hopefully identify what's true and what's false. While numbers can be precise, misunderstanding numbers, obtaining the wrong numbers, or making mistakes when obtaining the numbers can be costly and very misleading.
