Summary
This document is page 160 of a larger collection (labeled HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016963), containing an essay titled 'Algorists Dream of Objectivity' by Peter Galison. The text discusses the history of algorithms and compares subjective 'clinical' prediction methods against objective 'algorithmic' methods in psychology, citing a 1996 study by Grove and Meehl. While included in Epstein-related discovery files, the document itself is an academic text likely from a compilation book (possibly an Edge.org publication) and contains no flight logs or financial data.
