captain crunch was an x-phi

So now we have x-phi, experimental philosophy, because reflecting on the human predicament without the influx of data cannot be considered valid considering there is so much interelated numbers to crunch out there in info-land. And I just finished "Blink" that postures there is probably too much data that probably clogs the decision making process and we don't need all of that goo in the first place. I know what happens to me when I'm confronted with too many choices. I choose not to choose because I've already made my choice before I got there. That doesn't mean I won't change my mind. It means I need an articulate argument and not just another option. I find little articulation in crunched data. I still see little truth coming out of the crunching beyond the agenda driving it because we generally see what we want to, or worse yet, project the supposed crunched truth as a statistical fact to end the argument. Arguments don't end. We just choose to disagree or escalate.
