i can't remember who came up with it

When Strum Therman was endorsed by the KKK in his bid for congress the papers ran it like it was the state Chamber of Comerce giving him an endoresement

oh right, Strom Thurmond

the strange thing is that they proved that the harder it is to get infomation, the more informed people try to be. What we have now is a overload of infomation that is always present to the point that we are numb to it all and ignore everything that we don't like. We are actually less informed now on average then we were 100 years ago

and presumably Robert Byrd

Yes.

i'd guess that that is partly by design

less informed? I doubt that. I think the quanitity is probably rather similar, however, the distribution the focus is probably radically different.

the amount of intelligence services/military intel projects involved in mass media and social media is a bit bewildering tbh

one of the guys who was an aide for the sanders 2016 campaign is working for mi6 iirc

informed about what? i think rather than everyone know the contents of the 10 most popular books in the medieval ages or whatever, people know about some really strange random info, whatever they are interested in.

theres something to say for specialization too, and not having a population where everyone knows the same things and nobody really has any rare valuable information

Russian folk/black metal is good

well the article doesn't really specify what kind of information is important and what kind of information we are missing, or what information we should be knowing

it's just a generic talk about the paradox of ease of access thatis actually making it less accessed

Ppl are softer now. Its easy to mold people

The problem lies in peoples lack of conviction.

we should be more informed now then we ever were through history because everything you want to know is a google search away.... yet it's moved the complete opposite direction

I would disagree.

Its like people dont want to argue the facts, its easier to have the screen tell then

informed about what?

being informed is not a binary yes/no state

Just things in general. Including science.

i dont know what we should be informed about

Does me knowing what pewdiepie's last video was about, count as knowledge?

Depends on how relevant it is
