Too Much Data
It is
apparent in today’s world that we have too much data and information available
to the common man. Everyone is too lazy
or too busy to take the time to understand the data so they rely on someone
else to interpret it for them. That is
where our problems begin. The
interpreter has an agenda, because everyone has an agenda, usually relevant to
what makes them the most money or gives them the biggest ego boost. So the bias interpreter tells the common man
what the data means with his or her spin on the conclusions that are made. The common man then runs out and parrots this
conclusion to all of his friends and relatives as though it was his original interpretation
of the data. With the abundance of data
and the abundance of interpreters, you seldom get any valid information from
the vast amount of data.
Much time is
spent in useless analysis and our productivity goes down and down. We know the greatest detail about
insignificant things, but details about important matters are lost in the
quagmire of useless information. As a
result the common man “tweets” his
friends and posts something on Facebook and he is ambivalent to the crashing
world around him.
More and
more Americans are really clueless as to the situation that exists in the world
today because it is beyond their desire or capability to sift through the data
and come to a conclusion themselves.
This is a very dangerous situation in terms of the survival of our
society. We are “ripe for the pickens”
and there are plenty of evil people trying to pick the fruit of the United
States.
