Rory brings up a fascinating point about the limitations of relying solely on data in business decisions. It’s refreshing to hear an argument in favour of creativity and intuition in areas where rigid numbers can sometimes mislead. This makes me think about how we might undervalue those "gut feelings" in our creative fields, especially when data-driven methods dominate so many conversations today.

I could listen to Rory all day!! I will just say, as a physics grad, that climate change is one of those ‘too many variables’ impossible to predict subjects.
Really appreciate your ability to challenge how one thinks. Would be nice if you could share the links to the papers you're citing. This was a truly empowering lecture/talk Mr Rory
Hoi! Cheap Scots comment again Rory.... behave! (BTW you just name-checked James Clark Maxwell.... and we invented the entire modern world remember...)

This is almost entirely smoke and mirrors.
Well it explains why politicians keep screwing things up.
What a pointless comment - at least elaborate.
A midwit speaks...
