@josh@masto.byrd.ws I don't see the conundrum, here. Knowledge is not understanding.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws we don't see information as valuable anymore

@josh@masto.byrd.ws infinite ingormanmtion doesn’t necessarily mean infinite correct information

@josh@masto.byrd.ws curation is undervalued. Exhibit a: dying newspapers. Exhibit b: pay scales for Reference Librarians. Exhibit c: seeing their jobs and reference sections of libraries dwindle and vanish.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Information overload weighs on our minds. Information overload tires and weakens us because our minds aren't prepared. We need to reflect, and this takes time to process information, which our minds do slowly.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Hi Josh, not all of yr "Infinite Infos" are really true. Look for instance on Truth social. Ahhmmm, No, let it be. That is a bad example. Everything there is s@%t. Forget this post......

@josh@masto.byrd.ws They said in the early 2000s that the internet would go dumb if we let children in.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws The arguments made here about access to information have some merit. But there’s more to it. It’s also (much more, I believe) the democratization of publishing. It used to be hard to get your ideas out there because there were gatekeepers who would reject the stupid, the crazy, & the poorly written. Now you can get your $#!+ out there despite being all three.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws you mean access to controlled infinite contagious missinformation, unlike the pre internet acess to finite controlled contagious missinformation

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Well, we didn't get infinite information (that's more public libraries), we got infinite data (so ads/propaganda, random shit people say, …).

@josh@masto.byrd.ws It’s less infinite information that’s the problem more it’s *infinite mis/disinformation* that’s the issue

@josh@masto.byrd.ws We have access to infinite data, NOT infinite information. We are drowning in noise...
