We are living in the age of information. ever before did we have access to so much knowledge about almost everything. We all have an "oracle of delphi" in our pockets, and can ask questions about anything.
That way we can tap into the collective genius or idiocy, depends how You look at it. This trend will only increase because the internet is still in the growing phase.
Did You ever contemplate on the fascinating Question, as to what information really is?
It is a worthwhile animal to examine and spend time on, because it plays such a critical role in our lives. I came across two definitions, that helped me getting a better grip on information, because it is a slippery fish.
1.) Information reduces possibilities. The more valuable information is, the more invalid results are removed, leaving You only with the true lottery numbers for example.
2.) Informations change the worldview of the recipient. The more valuable it is, the more it does so. Remember how You were changed, when You learned about cryptocurrency.
Information enters the mind via the front door adressing the conscious level of awareness, and via the backdoor entering the subconscious level of awareness. Because 90% of all decisions are made unconsciously in everyday life, this leaves You vulnerable to manipulation.
There is no such thing as inert information. It either moves into a more positive direction or into a negative direction. All information has this intrinsic quality.
Think about it. Information brings something into form. That makes it one of humanities ethereal children that stands at the exact border between the non physical and the physical realm. It is a magic tool that carries the ability to manifest in the physical realm.
Your perception of reality stands in a strong correlation to the information You are consuming. By repetition programs get recorded in Your subconscious until You have a certain view of a certain topic and You actually believe it is Your own conviction.
Media has done nothing else in the last century, it failed us soon to be replaced by many passionate people picking up the task of providing information. This is a new time and I love it.
I hope this information about information has been useful to You. Thank You for Your time.
