Most people today go around with a device in their pocket which they can use to instantly access all human knowledge, and they use it primarily to watch videos of cute kittens.
I don’t ignore any information. I just don’t want anyone to find out what I want to know. Nothing bad here, just sort of embarrassed about my collection of rare pog’s.
Or it’s more easily purged. And rewritten. Is why I’ve kept my old high school history books. I want my grandkids to learn real history, not garbage revisionist crap.
Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
I am surprised at the nearly universal uproar about information. Think about it: none of it has changed. The current flow is just another mix of good and bad as always. I decry the stunning volume of misinformation (accompanied by a genuine shortage of information we really need – time is a cruel mistress) about the current pandemic, but then I remember it was very similar half a century ago when HIV appeared.
What I don’t understand is why so many people torture themselves and others anguishing over things that are not directly affecting us enough to make our short list. I think we all have real problems of our own.
Information Age: Era in which knowledge is available, but written by the loudest distractor, and written and paid for by the deepest pockets. Truth of facts is not important or required, but the number of clicks and advertisement dollars generated is the critical factor. Misinformation is collateral damage.
Only if it contradicts by even the most infinitesimally small fraction your blinkered view of the present and also factual history.Lesson 101 of the lefties little red book of how to screw your country and the world without you accepting or acknowledging any blame whatsoever

Hey! I don’t ignore all knowledge. I cherry-pick the knowledge that I want to believe and ignore the rest.

So was Wiley’s Dictionary the original start of the information age, way back in B.C.? If not, why not? What information was Wiley missing?
