About this episode

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a former Data Scientist at Google and a writer.

There are things which you write into Google which you have never told another person. Our search history is a window into the deepest recesses of our mind which has never before been available.

Time for the big data analysts like Seth to step in and look at what we can discover from these information. Why do people commit suicide? How many Americans are racist? What is the most popular type of pornography in India? And what is the biggest determining factor in a child's development?
