Over my professional learning in the past 13 years, I've tended to resonate with approaches that embrace the unknown in contrast to those assuming it is known.

This comes from an analogous personal change I've had at 27 years old - fundamentally revealing my true fabric to myself - which showed just how much we still don't know about ourselves.

Economics was no stranger to this dichotomy.
Whereas I see it as a social science, some others see it as an exact science.
It's what I believe that you believe that I believe that you believe (ad infinitum) that establishes my decision about a given subject.
This is a combinatorial-exploding near-infinite-recursive problem to which we have no near sight in solving and no exact models for.

I've recently come to the deep realization of just how much this translates to product development and running a business.
How much should you rely your decisions on data?
How much of the data seeking will already be shaped by what your belief systems are?
How much should you trust your intuition?
Are there any decisions that are actually not intuition-based?

If you still doubt your intuition, ask yourself:
How many truths have I unveiled from reading books and facts that I already knew to be true within?
