I found two articles of the selection for the week quite interesting.  The extract on psycho-history gives a bit of a solution to how we can make data collection and use less biased. If studying the human sources and collectors of the data alongside data analysis was a norm, then maybe the individual perspectives and opinions that generate bias could be understood and the extremeness of these biased views could determine whether or not the data collected is valid enough for public use. The article by Michael Martell on the wage gap between men of different sexual orientations was also very insightful. The methods the author used just to ensure that other factors, that were worth considering in the general analysis of the entire situation, were looked at alongside the data are other ways that we could move away from the collection and use of biased and general data.
