Can you be more explicit about what it was in your study of data science that led you to notice your blindspots, or more generally what the “very powerful” ways of thinking about the world you found were? You mention the Wisdom of the Crowds, but it sounds like there was something in particular that made you realize the opportunity for growth.
This is a very long conversation – communicating it is my highest priority right now, but it’s a huge undertaking. For now I’ll just say that the most important part to my mind is learning to think in terms of dimensionality reduction. See Chris Olah’s post Visualizing MNIST: An Exploration of Dimensionality Reduction if you’re unfamiliar with the subject.
