Stop Polluting Our Information Ocean
There’s Too Much Crap In These Waters and I Don’t Want to Make It Worse
Information Overload
Do you sometimes feel like you are drowning in information? Do you sometimes resent media creators like me because of this? Even if you usually enjoy a person’s posts, podcasts or videos, do you sometimes wish they’d maybe produce less of them so that you could emerge from the Information Ocean for even a short breather?
I get it, I really do. In fact, feeling this way is one of the reasons I sometimes don’t want to write. Sometimes my brain is so far submerged in the murkiest regions of that information ocean that I can’t make sense of things. The last thing I want to do is write from that place of confusion and simply contribute to someone’s sense of overwhelm.
And yet here I am, trying to live up to my commitment to publish one blog post per week in 2023, pulling out hair from orifices I didn’t know existed before I turned 50, and all I can come up with is crap.
Total crap.
Am I supposed to share that with you? Would you accept if I was a friendly, smiling face extending out from your computer screen with a bowl in my hand and I said, “Here! Here, take this! It’s a bowl of steaming crap!”
