Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a quantitative data scientist and the author of Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are. In this discussion, Seth explains how philosophy and economics led him to data science and his passion for uncovering human traits through internet behavior. Seth says his work is what we can learn about people from data searches and other online behavior, because everyone leaves something on the internet.  He concludes that we should theorize less, and let the data speak more.   Key Takeaways [3:26] Seth studied philosophy, economics, and data science. He explains how they connect. His work at Google involved advertising effectiveness and search behavior modeling. The book Everyone Lies examines what we learn about people from their internet behavior. [4:41] Seth writes and studies as his curiosity leads him. Success is one topic he explores. He downloaded Wikipedia to study Baby Boomers. Geography matters, because he found famous people were mostly from cities, college towns. [9:58] Seth hopes people learn from his work the value and use of big data, and to make better data-based decisions. He also hopes more young people will enter this field of study, as there is much more to learn about human behavior. [12:03] Seth considers Christian Rudder, author of Dataclysm, to be on the right path with big data. Undergraduate students are more likely to favor analyzing Facebook data over running an experiment with 20 subjects in a group. [15:32] Seth contrasts his findings on success with the book Grit. He cites statistics of height and likelihood of becoming an NBA player. Malcolm Gladwell, in Tipping Point, says once a threshold is met other factors matter. Seth rebuts the threshold theory. A player over 7' tall has a one-in-five chance of playing in the NBA. Every inch doubles the chance. A 6'8" player has double the chance of a 6'7" player. [19:00] The book Everybody Lies uncovers more racism than people are willing to admit and other attitudes people express in their Google questions that they would not ask another person. [19:21] One of the biggest revolutions in business is A/B testing. Facebook does more experiments in a day than the FDA does in a year. Seth points out that making general rules from A/B testing is fallacious. Seth is considering writing a book on A/B testing. He A/B tests his life. Try different things and pay attention to what does work, and what doesn’t work. [29:38] Facebook ‘Likes’ correlate to IQ. Higher IQ people like Mozart and curly fries.

Facebook does more experiments in a day than the FDA does in a year. Google is a modern confessional. Theorize less, and let the data speak more. Bio Seth Stephens-Davidowitz has used data from the internet — particularly Google searches — to get new insights into the human psyche.  A book summarizing his research, Everybody Lies, was published in May 2017 by HarperCollins. Seth has used Google searches to measure racism, self-induced abortion, depression, child abuse, hateful mobs, the science of humor, sexual preference, anxiety, son preference, and sexual insecurity, among many other topics. He worked for one-and-a-half years as a data scientist at Google and is currently a contributing op-ed writer for the New York Times. He is designing and teaching a course about his research at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he will be a visiting lecturer. Seth received his BA in philosophy, Phi Beta Kappa, from Stanford, and his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard. In high school, he wrote obituaries for the local newspaper, the Bergen Record, and was a juggler in theatrical shows. He now lives in Brooklyn and is a passionate fan of the Mets, Knicks, Jets, Stanford football, and Leonard Cohen.

This week we’re talking about deep face! Sea kangaroos! Oddfellow knowledge! Peanut terror! Individuals vs. the Collective! The Leisure Class! Los Campesinos! Dataclysm! Actors hanging out! Car seat nightmares! The tsunami! Golf magic! 

This week we're looking at how powerful computers and massive data sets are changing the we study each other, scientifically and socially. We're joined by machine learning researcher Hanna Wallach, to talk about the definition of "big data," and social science research techniques that use data about individual people to model patterns in human behavior. And we'll speak to Christian Rudder, co-founder of OkCupid and author of the OkTrends blog, about his book "Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One's Looking)."

Seventy percent of the country uses Facebook each month-50 percent of Americans under 35 check it first thing every morning. By 2015, people will have tweeted more words than in every book ever printed. A third of all marriages in the United States now begin online-meaning one in three children in the class of 2032 will have been facilitated by an algorithm. Social media has become essential to the fabric of our society.

This week we cast our doubts in the direction of resolutions and the underwhelming challenges that humans set themselves. Can we stick to our plans and what are ways to game our psychology and do the right things when we really have to?

Xiaohua: Recently, ABC Spanish Daily Newspaper publishes an article saying that in China, if a single woman is aged above 30, no matter how pretty or smart she is, it is very difficult for her to find a suitable marriage partner. John: I think this is funny, actually, because the age in China is usually 27. Xiaohua: The newspaper attributes the problem to male chauvinism in China. But before talking about whether this conclusion makes sense, I want to know what your definition of what male chauvinism is. John: Chauvinism is just basically the belief that you are better than others. We can use that in male chauvinism, certainly there is female chauvinism. There’s cultural chauvinism. It’s just an idea of superiority to a certain degree. I think the way it’s used in these days, especially in the Chinese cultural context, is a male with traditional ideas about general roles. The men should make more money; the man should spend more time outside the home, especially at work and the women should pop out babies and take care of them and do all the cooking and cleaning. Liuyan: Yeah, exactly. So men who always act like, “Don’t argue with me. You know nothing.” That type of man. Xiaohua: Yeah, I think the feeling of superiority is definitely there. John: Right, but again, they feel superior because they are MEN, not because they are a CEO or because they have a certain position. That’s why it’s MALE chauvinism. Xiaohua: Boo-hoo. John: There are women, even in our organization, that are female chauvinists. Xiaohua: Anyway, let’s talk about this Spanish newspaper’s report. Do you think that this is why there are a lot of single women above 30 here in China, that’s because male are too chauvinistic? Liuyan: I don’t think it’s entirely the reason. At least from where I can see, I think one big reason is that a lot of people are just considering if I’m getting married, finally getting married, I would want someone who is younger, so that I can have better offspring. John: Yeah, you have to remember this comes to do the sexual selection strategies of men and women and how they are different. I think it is impossible to blame men for being chauvinistic. Certainly, we do find that Chinese men can be, some but not all, a bit too traditional in their thinking about gender roles, but I think that’s changing fairly rapidly especially among younger, more educated urban people. I’m not sure about how big of an issue that really is. I think a lot of it has to do with sexual mating strategies. So, again, as I said before, women operate on hypergamy, they want to, in general, again some but not all, women are looking to marry up. Whereas men, they are looking for someone to provide offspring, someone who can physically care and actually give birth to their children. In that sense, I think that both parties are to blame, if we have to blame anyone. If you’re a successful woman at 30, in China right now, it is going to be difficult to find a man who is older and more successful than you are OR someone who can necessarily accept you are an independent woman because this is a very new thing. Most people, women and men, are not used to this happening. Men usually like to marry, or at least mate with, women younger women as well. So it’s a bit of a catch 22 for the successful woman, but it can be a catch 22 for the successful man as well. Xiaohua: Yeah, I think it is true. Yeah. Liuyan: Also, I have to say that I don’t necessarily agree with this ABC Spanish daily newspaper article. I recently read a book called Dataclysm and the writer of that book is one of the cofounders of OKCupid.com and he uses data collected from his own website and also eHarmony.com and things like that. He reaches the conclusion that men, as long as no one is looking, they will always pick women who are around the age of 20 to 21. John: You’re right, I know exactly what you’re talking about, but that information is based solely on looks. So solely on looks, men are attracted almost exclusively to women in range of 20 to about 24 no matter what the man’s age is. But women, the age of men they are attracted to goes up as they go up.
