Is big data bad for humanity?

Originally people thought that algorithms based on data would allow for a purely pragmatic and logical approach to numerous aspects of life from employment, to judicial sentencing, to college admissions, to ad targeting, to manufacturing, and beyond.

However, the flaw is that humans are not pragmatic and our needs, motivations, desires, etc. are not logical and are not influenced by logic. So a world driven by Big Data is anti-humanity. It can not allow for chance or surprise, so it forces the society into stagnation and prevents people with new ideas from reaching their potential.

So did we go wrong? Has big data turned into the warden of a logic prison that the human soul has been imprisoned within?

Do you not understand that big data is a term with a specific meaning? There isn't another phrase you can use in its place that coveys the same meaning as efficiently.
