unknown

What is with Paul Anka?!? The name is popular on TV shows and it came up in a conversation with a Frenchman in Sweden. He has achieved social tipping point.

I love the new show, Numb3rs. I love the idea of finding out the unknown by looking at the known variables. Yet, I get hit again today about how many unknown variables that impact decisions. Models and algorithms are such a simplification of what is actually going on. A person's choice or decisions can be impacted by so many unknown factors that isn't even documented anywhere. Changes in circumstance and environment play such a unknown but key role in our choices and decisions. How small is my mind and my understanding.
