birds of a feather flock together

Malcolm Gladwell - Blink

Unfortunately. Just talk to anyone who only watches MSNBC or FOX and nothing else, it's insufferable.

In the book, he makes a solid case for why there is NO difference between 1) having not enough information and 2) having TOO much information with no way to filter for relevance

it is a common misconception that more information is always better

It rarely is because at a certain point, we start seeing patterns that don't really exist

Exactly. Which is why no one dare watch a 10 hour impeachment session every day. It's easier to reference trusted and reliable sources.

and, we can justify ANYTHING

evidence takes time and energy. more information just makes it easier to cast doubt on ANYTHING

even the fact that the earth is round

fact is that there is a paradox intrinsic to becoming more and more specialized

But it's still fact. Objective truth exists. When drowning in an ocean of opinion, sound judgement appears as a distant shore. But reason is a life raft. Even with all the information in the world, you can still easily make sound determinations and ignore the bullshit.

the more specialized we become, the more DEPENDANT we become on others who know more about things we do not. However, the less we have to learn to operate in a vacum, the less we are able to determine who we should TRUST and who we should not trust

the internet is creating a MASSIVE divide between the blue collar and white collar style of workers

No. The more specialized we become, whether in politics or tradecraft, the less dependent you become on placing wavering trust in questionable sources. You lean to discern truth from nonsense.

the white collar worker can always steal a minute or two to keep current on a myraid of issues. but the blue collar work doesn't have the luxury of surfin his phone all day and is too tired to do so at home

negative; also in the book but more from live experience

Wisdom = Knowledge + Judgement

you don't develop Judgement by sifting through knowledge

And that equation is where we agree on this.

Without knowledge, you have flawed judgement, and without judgement, you're simply regurgitating information without context.

well,if you argee with the equation, you have to accept the conclusion; judgement is only developed by learned to operate in a vaccum when you don't HAVE the answer. this is the skill-set you excercise when you decide which source to trust

not true

judgement is INDEPENDENT of knowledge

@pwtdo - Capturing the culminating elements of socialism currently festering in the far left pockets of the Democratic party

i don't need to know jack to develop and abilty to read people

Jesus is a jew lol

only experience with people is required

Judgement is derived from knowledge and experience.

knowledge is the other side of the experience coin

his name was christ, not christowitz, nice try @v2k

judgment has little to do with knowledge; only experience

nice try orthodox boomer @matroyshka

but he was a jew

Ehhhh - Judgement is a combination of knowledge and experience. That's especially true in the workplace.

some of the best judgement comes from people that were never formly edcuated and didn't have access to a library of knowedge

ONLY true in the workplace

only

Someone with experience who doesn't know why their performing actions is a useless automaton. You need both to exercise sound judgement.
