Information Overload

There is just too much information in the world, we have no choice but to filter almost all of it out.

lack of information

The world is very confusing, and we end up only seeing a tiny sliver of it, but we need to make some sense of it in order to survive.

 

Need to act fast

We’re constrained by time and information, and yet we can’t let that paralyze us.

What should we remember?

There’s too much information in the universe. We can only afford to keep around the bits that are most likely to prove useful in the future.
