While not wanting to diminish the mental anguish that many people, unfortunately, suffer from. It is better to be super wealthy and unhappy than to be poor and unhappy. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the term “first world problems”, my bank account would look similar to those of my clients.…

I have a bit of a thing for data – I believe that you can bumble through your existence in the main according to the available data. It doesn’t matter whether you are deciding between two medical treatments or two new fridges. Data is helpful – correct data is compulsory. This is particularly true when…

It would appear they are very stupid – but then that’s probably not a surprise to anyone. The always entertaining Dr Sabine Hossenfelder points out why.
