problems of simplicity 2 variable problems
simple
problems of averages probability
many variables
air molecules
Law of Large Numbers
Law of Large Numbers gives us distribution
height
NEW: problems of dealing with problems as a system/whole
organizition/complexity solution: computational science
comes out of war time development
especially applicable to problems in social science
because they are not simple (more than 2 variables,
and hard to build averages because of diversity)
Which science is the most complex? Social Science
What is the limitaiton of data can only tell us what happened in the past
Does the past equal the future? no, it is non-stationary
what are phase transitions? when the reality of something changes away from a
common pattern. Stationarity is lost
More = different.
Heating water up more and more = vapor
,What did Schumpeter say? History of capitalism is dotted with violent bursts of
catastrophes. Evolution is a series of explosions.
Where do non-linearities come from? from interdependence. We influence eachother and
this leads to non-linear behavior.
- factors like competition
What is data mining a form of? statistical discrimination (therefore seems rational).
Data look for differences (inherently discrimnatory)
Personalization does not equal what? discrimination
Can we change how alogrithms yes, we can make sure they don't discriminate against
discriminate? right based characteristics. (gender, age). We lose
some info but they can discriminate on other
variables.
lose accuracy.
Can you eradicate bias in algorithms? yes
What problems can social science simple and large problems
handle? but NOT REALISTIC ONES
What year did we begin to have more 2002
digital info than analog?
What does digital info allow us to do? store AND analyze
How fast is information doubling? every 2-3 years
How much more digital info do we 5 times more
have stored than the DNA of all
humans
What was RNA referenced as? a great processing innovation
RNA (DNA) * how dna info was processed
, What is the next stage of human Digital
evoluiton? - AI
- Sequencing information
Stock market and algorithm 80% of transactions carried out by AI
What is the fundamental science Physics (how matter is structured and organized)
What is the pyramid of science society
humans
cells
molecules
atoms
matter
What does computational social allow us to make predictions with what happened
science do and generalize that to society as a whole
Social science is like studying one... human (an aggregate)
Aunt Hillary (ant colony is a social structure)
What is at the heart of all social social emergences
sciences
What is the question postualized with if we have free will then why can we still make
Kant's "free will" predictionsa bout how many people will be born,
die, get married, etc?
Durkheim and the "spark" we all contain a spark of the collective current so it is
not wholly exterior.
Adam Smith and "invisible hand" we are all egotistic but in the end these "market
mechanisms" promote general good.
Marx Quantitiative differences eventually turn into
qualitative changes (this defines emergence)
