Paradox Information quantity paradox: more, less meaningful. We simply don’t have the capacity to process all the information we’re presented with.
Poverty Herbert Simon, the Nobel Prize–winning economist and cognitive scientist, put it neatly decades ago: “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.”
Over-informed Being over-informed is a thing. We have too much information in our lives that we can never process.
Failure Science has failed us. We still don’t know much about anything, despite having so much data/information.
Consequence The main consequence of not being informed is that you’d discover hot water over and over again.
