Let's Know Things Episode 4 — Big Data & the Apocalypse

This week, we'll talk about end of the world scenarios from around the world. We'll also talk about Big Data: what it is, how it's collected, how it's used and by whom, and why it's worth understanding.

We'll also chat a bit about heuristics, filter bubbles, and priorities.

Listened to this podcast on my way to work. It blew me away. Not going to lie, I was a tad paranoid at one point, then came to my senses. Thank you for shedding light on a subject many of us are unaware of, but after listening will be on point with.

Just discovered your stuff man. Every one I've listened to has been better then the last. How do you only have less than 500 views on all these videos!?

This seemed particularly relevant today for some reason. In addition to apocalypse type myths there are also many creation myths and disaster myths, i.e. great flood or earthquake type myths in almost every culture. We're more alike than we are different it seems.
