Huge congrats to Nicholas Dyner, Jeff Green and the entire team at Moleaer Inc. Since we have all seen what non-data driven, socially-amplified opinions can do to national discourse on a whole litany of important topics, let’s give data its moment in the sun. In the coming year, purposefully over-index for data because when used properly it can be the silencer of much of the angst, fear, divisiveness and uncertainty with which we all continue to struggle. If 2021 taught me anything it is some of my cleverest friends (both left and right) can be religious in using data to fact check other people's opinions while conveniently failing to expose their own opinions to the same level of scrutiny.Īs we head into 2022, it is pretty clear the turbulence is likely to continue, if not accelerate. So let’s all try to do our part and be as data-driven as possible. That means data is more important, and therefore, should be more heavily weighted than other people’s opinions, as well as (and most importantly) your own opinions. But whenever I read it in the mirror after a stint on the elliptical, I marvel at the simple brilliance. Think about it - data is greater than opinion. In all candor, I have no idea how this gem made it into my workout t-shirt rotation.

But Lord knows, beyond climate, there was plenty of crazy to go round in ‘21. Not surprisingly given what I have chosen to do at Rusheen Capital Management, LLC for a living, many of the crazier opinions I found myself confronting were climate related. Honestly, I can’t remember a period in my life when I spent more time considering, reading about, listening to and ultimately refuting crazy opinions.
