D: Is for the deification of data

Data: “Bald men are less likely to have an aunt.” This might well be true, but it has nothing to do with being bald. Men who are bald, statistically, are likely to be older than men with a full head of hair. Therefore, they are less likely than average to have a surviving aunt. Being […]

Do not resuscitate

Do Not Resuscitate. This tag should be attached to the oil, airline and car industries. Governments should provide financial support to company workers while refashioning the economy to provide new jobs in different sectors.
