“All data in of itself is useless”…what does that even mean? That’s like saying a chair in of itself is useless because no one is sitting in it. And this could be extrapolated to saying everything is useless.
Data’s usefulness stems first from its many defining factors, which validates it, and then opens doors to using that data to explore insights.

- mym1990 3y agoI mean I can do mental gymnastics to understand the sentiment, but it really just comes down to individual preferences and definition of "use". To me, the usefulness of everything is in constant flux, and that's kind of cool to think about.
- richk449 3y agoI thought your comment was spot on. I just appreciated the possible turn towards nihilism or existentialism. We spend so much of our life determining what is useful in one sense of the word, and rarely stop to think about the usefulness of what we do in the philosophical sense.
