Developing that point (from Nicholas Car) by quoting Quentin Schulze (Calvin College) after noting that filter failure is as responsible as sheer undeniable information glut:“informationism… a non-discerning, vacuous faith in the collection and dissemination of information as a route to social progress and personal happiness… the is over the ought, observation over intimacy, and measurement over meaning.”

A great point about how we have trained ourselves to _want_ to be distracted by ‘information’ that is barely more than ‘data’, and doesn’t come up even to ‘knowledge’ let alone ‘wisdom’. We have mistakenly adopted information as our highest good [in the arena of communication, and even of thought!]
