We're Drowning in Information-and It's Making Us Sick
Think about the last time you checked your phone. Was it five minutes ago? Two minutes? Are you fighting the urge to check it right now? We live in an age where the average person consumes twelve hours of information daily-more than we sleep. Yet somehow, we seem to know less than ever. Protesters hold signs demanding "Keep your government hands off my Medicare," apparently unaware that Medicare is a government program. Climate scientists present overwhelming evidence while public opinion splits along partisan lines that have nothing to do with the data. We're not suffering from ignorance anymore. We're suffering from something far more insidious: information obesity. This isn't hyperbole. Just as industrialized food created an obesity epidemic that transformed America's health landscape in mere decades, industrialized information has created a cognitive crisis that's reshaping our minds, our bodies, and our democracy. The parallel is almost too perfect to be coincidence. Both crises stem from abundance without wisdom, from industries that discovered how to exploit our evolutionary vulnerabilities for profit, and from our collective failure to recognize that more isn't always better. In 1990, not a single American state had an obesity rate above 14%. By 2010, not a single state had a rate below 20%. This wasn't a failure of willpower-it was the inevitable result of an industrialized system that discovered how to manufacture products our brains couldn't resist.
