Abstract
This chapter discusses the phenomenon of Big Data. It does it from the unique vantage point of Inquiry Systems. Inquiry Systems are fundamentally different philosophical systems that not only have very different definitions of knowledge and truth, but very different ways of producing and arriving at them. The Inquiry Systems that are appropriate for simple problems—bounded, well-structured exercises—are grossly inappropriate for complex, messy systems. This is especially true of wicked messes and hence crises. An important outcome is that Fake News is the result of Fake Inquiry—hence, the importance of understanding Inquiry Systems. To reiterate, step-by-step, the book both introduces and builds up the intellectual concepts and the emotional fortitude that are necessary in first recognizing and then treating the enormous crises that constitute wicked messes.
