Iara Passos — background in humanities and exact sciences: sociologist (MA), statistician, data engineer and scientist. I work with complex pipelines in R, Python and SQL, on Linux. My focus lies at the intersection of technology, digital sovereignty and critical social research.
The name: “absurd” (absurdo) — hello, existentialists! — meets “stochastic” (estocástico) — random complex processes. Combined with 89 seconds to midnight of the Doomsday Clock: the absurd, complex and stochastic challenges of the third millennium.
The capsules: each piece here is a capsule — reflections on the absurdities of our time, uniting philosophy, technology, politics, statistics and culture. Stored on a static blog, without algorithm, platform or intermediary.
