Sensemaking
The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm
Summary:
The book argues for the importance of humanistic thinking and the study of humanities in understanding complex human behaviors, particularly in a world increasingly dominated by data and algorithms. It emphasizes the value of context, culture, and human experience in making sense of the world, challenging the notion that quantitative data alone can provide all the answers.
Key points:
1. Sensemaking as a Human Approach: Madsbjerg believes we need sensemaking, which uses empathy and context to understand the world, not just data and algorithms.
