"We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events." - Daniel Kahneman

Here is a quote to guide you through decision-making and the vast data & AI space from people way smarter than me:

"We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events." - Daniel Kahneman

Take nothing you know for granted.

Don’t assume you know anything.

Think of your knowledge as a set of models.

Given enough time, a set of models with limits will be proven wrong.

Newtonian gravity is still a good model, but it’s wrong.

If you want to compute subatomic interactions, you’ll be in a world of difficulty if you don’t use a better model.

Keep an open mind, and consider whatever you experience as a chance to learn and be proven wrong.

That way, you’ll grow every day.
