i mostly believe that at this point (of digitalization), information in itself is subjective.
Subjective in the sense where its utility comes from our ability to firmly exercise our stream of /direction/ while using it.
We draw information, from Wells filled by scholars for centuries. It is only fitting that we guard the Well of information well— by ensuring its purity of essence, by protecting it from potential harm (from poison, contamination, etc.)
I believe that we should not spend our time bloating up ourselves with its water—just to vomit it out into the sand.
Humans (by chance/design) have been granted the ability to be guardians of this Well of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding.
We should exercise our thirst well, not gorge ourselves blindly.
We should teach the new generations to be better guardians of the Well, to not muddy its waters, lest we fall victim to self-inflicted intellectual drought and pestilence.
i believe that the Well of Information is subjective, in the hands of untrained humans.
But we can be better. We can learn to be its guardians.
