# Current State of Affairs By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2023-04-25 This must be the best thing to have ever been. There are plenty of data. Computer power has never been more powerful and more accessible. There are low-code options available for programming computers. If analysis makes things better, the current state of affairs should be positive beyond comparison or comprehension. How are things going? It is like we are watching a multitude of cascading dumpster fires rolling downhill toward a community picnic being held in the middle of a war. Perhaps the current state of affairs reveals the limits of analytics. Sure, it can forecast the future. Will we listen or rationalize it away? Analytics without action is a waste. #### Related Items [[Analytics]] [[Data]] [[Progress]] [[Action]] [[Forecasting]]
