In data science, you have to be willing to be surprised by the data. I studied this site, storm front, which is the largest hate sight in the united states. And i found out that it was the biggest hatesiht in the the united States. It's like a big, this big, massive secret that no one talks about. They feel comfortable talking to google about it because they want to learn more. Most people aren't like, you know, could poop size correlate with success? Nobody thinks that. So if you do think that, a lot of times you are wrong, but occasionally you're going to be right.
Do you know one of the most google searches in India is a man trying to get his wife to breastfeed him!? I was surprised too!
Have you ever wondered what are the most searches on Google? What are the most ridiculous searches on Google? And Google probably has more data on you than any agencies out there!
In this episode, I have Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, American data scientist, economist, and author, to talk about his book, Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are.
We also breakdown what were the most google searches, how do people use the "secret" data to improve their business and/or their life!
