Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 22nd April 2025 – Buy Revealing Wealth

Introduction

If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end – people like myself – should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.

Warren Buffett[1]

Did data and AI kill the statistician?

Without a grounding in statistics, a Data Scientist is a Data Lab Assistant.

Martyn Jones

Hold this thought: There are big lies, damn big lies and data science with an AI chaser.

Statistics is a science, and some would argue that it is one of the oldest sciences.

Statistics can be traced back to the days of Augustus Caesar. He was a statesman, military leader, and the first emperor of the Roman Empire. Some set its provenance even earlier.

Indeed, suppose we accept that censuses are a part of statistics. In that case, we can trace history back to the Chinese Han Dynasty (2 AD). We can also consider the Egyptians (2,500 BC) and the Babylonians (4,000 BC).

Neoliberalism: A Reflection

Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 9th April 2025

In a compelling lecture by Enrique Javier Díez, a respected professor at the University of León, he opened with the well-worn Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

Good and Bad

In our real and imaginary worlds, there is good and bad. But what does it mean?
