I don't think individual anecdotes really serve the argument. We need data.

I don't think individual anecdotes really serve the argument. We need data.
- coldtea 6y agoI, for one, don't think data clarify the situation in political/social issues - they're either distorted (and mis-collected) to misrepresent the situation, or misinterpreted and diced and re-defined based on whatever biases a side has. Plus you always need to have a theory and a point of view to interpret data (raw data are just numbers and metrics, with tell little by themselves). Having open eyes and a point of view trumps data -- it's just difficult (and of course you can think you've achieved that when you haven't).
