This year, Nate Silver shocked the world by correctly predicting, to a remarkable degree, how each and every state would turn in the Presidential election - despite many Republican pollsters predicting a Republican edge... But I wasn't shocked...because Silver was 49/50 in 2008. This stuff works. Not just for baseball. Not just for politics. And it's not computers replacing people, either. But people USING computers, and in-depth and beautiful data analysis to make better decisions than ever before. Get on board folks. (My league's fantasy football rankings as of this morning - want to guess who I am?)  

FOR THE JOYOUS
Do not stop. Your desire to pursue the alleviation of the social injustices you see does not end at the voting booth. There are non-profits around the world doing amazing things. Join them. Help them. Do not wait until others are forced by legislative mandate to fund these next social programs you desire, but pick your priorities, and work toward them yourself, while persuading others to join your fight.

FOR THE DESPONDENT
Do not stop. A boring rich, white robot just about tied the coolest President we've ever had.
