This is sooo interesting, it explains why algorithms can go wrong and in favour of some, but not in favour of others. Prison systems...medicine...military and education? OMG. Thanks for sharing Aragorn.

Brian seems like a very interesting fellow. And quite smart. (I've gone off on a tangent looking for his poetry)

This will be a good listen.

Thank you, Aragorn.
