What Makes A Good Data Analyst?
My main focus as of now is on understanding what exactly analysts get from experience that makes them better at producing trustworthy and well-performing analyses consistently across both familiar and novel contexts.
What is Morality?
My secondary focus is in understanding how people decide between right and wrong. More than that, I am interested in understanding where people’s notions of right and wrong come from. Why is it immoral to eat dog in the United States, but desirable to eat cow? What makes a good person good and a bad person bad? Why do people see harm in harmless behaviors? Where are the boundaries of morality, and what does its underlying structure look like in the mind? I investigate how emotion, thinking, and the mind’s complexity give way to people’s perceptions that some things are personal, others merely practical, and still others, perverse.
