- - - - Based on other's expectations?
        
        Society, yourself, both sides' expectations, are creating the identity? To what extent do we know or aware of/conscious?
        
        Or are we only improvising solely on our own?
  - - - Any sense of self is a post-rationalisation
  - - - Is this true? to what extent?
      - How can we assume that others think the same way as we do?
      - Evidenced by neuro-imaging techniques
        
        Methodology: This method of neuro imaging technique was originally invented to test those who had had an accident and their brain partially did not work.
        
        How are methods or machines created by "chance", against that of purposefully developed?
  - - - Agnosticism
        
        Without knowledge
      - Atheism
        
        Requires a certain faith, and belief, to not believe in any religious faith.
- - - - ad ignorantium
        
        ex: because something has not been proven to exist, therefore it does not exist.
- - - - Symbols, Symbolised
        
        can be understood universally
        
        The nature of the study is abstract, therefore, it is easy to symbolise
        
        Logics can also be expressed in symbols
  - - - How do we test this theory?
        
        Cohort study
        
        Difficult to know the future: In this case, who would know that the sample would become a rockstar?
        
        Detriment: Cost involved
        
        Since there is no guarantee that the research would end at a particular period of time
        
        Define words in hypothesis using criteria, which is often difficult and vague
        
        Longitudinal cohort study
        
        very common, especially in medicne
        
        Ex: study of a group of people tracking up to age of 27, and observe those who became rockstars
        
        Make a criteria to determine, what is a rock star
        
        Measuring cultural impact: looking at the total number of mentions in words
        
        Looking at number of records/albums sold
        
        Finding the number of people in fan club
      - PROBLEMS with this hypothesis
        
        Objectivity: How do we keep the samples less influenced, to avoid anomalous in data
        
        Observer effect: The target would act differently when he or she is aware of others observing him or her
      - Retrospective study conducted on age 27 club https://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d7799
        
        Weakness
        
        Sampling criteria
        
        Geography: limited to UK
        
        may be done to reduce the amount of data
        
        Taken from Wikipedia, and the reliability is being verified using another research that compares Encyclopaedia Britannica and wikipedia
        
        Linguistic limitations
        
        Strength
        
        Analysing data/quantitative research
        
        random sampling, not cherry picking data and casing confirmation bias
        
        A priori - researchers designed criteria and method independent from their prior knowledge (Getting rid of their background knowledge)
        
        unambiguous data: alive or dead at 27?
- - - - Think of interesting questions
        
        Formulate hypotheses
        
        Develop testable predictions
        
        Gather data to test predictions
        
        Develop general theories
- - - - Insurance Companies
        
        To predict a potential risk of a person, by finding correlation between the person's activity and danger
      - Stock Companies
        
        To predict future shift in economy
      - Advertisement companies
        
        To create targeted adverisements
      - IoT: Data gathered without the users consciously entering and submitting data.
        
        Ex: Nest: company produced thermostat, bought by Google
        
        Why?
- - - - TWE is it arguable that mathematics are merely coincidence in finding how it can explain a rule in nature?
