“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe, with a fine understanding of human fallibility…the people have to be educated, and they have to practice their skepticism and education. Otherwise we don’t run the government, the government runs us.“ - Carl Sagan

Scientific Thinking
The general hope of this blog is to install a sense of information hygiene. The scientific method will tell you that information must be evaluated. Tools like double blind analysis, repeatability, and appropriate meta-analyses must confirm the confidence of information. Otherwise, the only thing we can go off of is faith. While faith has its time and place, we must understand that science is the candle in the darkness of our chaotic existence.
Economic Models
Economics can be considered the study of causal relationships. When we try to understand our world through data, we must consider whether our conclusions are statistically and economically significant. This helps us determine whether our results are due to chance or a real factor of interest. We must also consider greater contexts within business and society to reach practical conclusions.

The benchmark being the S&P 500 average annualized rate of growth, which sits at ~10%. However, we are not here on this blog to simply tell you to invest in indices.
