Information anxiety

written by Javier on 5/08/2008

One of the diseases of this age is the multiplicity of books; they doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought forth into the world.

    Today it would be right to ask whether the abundance of information leads to the independence of the individual. Might be the way by which the market is introduced in all parts of our lives.

    Adding another question is whether the supposed freedom that causes so much information is true. Could be the true freedom in the capacity of the individual to answer . The ability of the human thought to absorb the flow of information-spam, and learn to discriminate the important things from the despicable,banal market, or narcissism.
