This is the second of a two-part series on Nate Silver. Read Part One HERE.

Nate Silver is right: Data and facts really do need to drive analysis. But he needs to realize that Sigmund Freud was right too. Psychology is the true queen of sciences because all intelligent life is subjective and filled with cultural and emotional limitations and preconceptions. Until we learn what our prejudices and limitations are, and that they exist at all, we remain blind to all the big opportunities and dangers that really matter.
Even you, Mr. Silver.
