blue bits. red rocks.

Modern men are able to store, catalog and process much more information than ever before. We learn much more rapidly than ever before. We adapt to changes much better than our ancestors did. We are much better at looking at the big picture. We excel at identifying patterns in large data sets, processing large amounts of information, multitasking and making decisions based on abstract inputs. Lamenting that average citizen is not reading as long and as deeply as the prominent thinkers of the past is rather silly. For one, let’s stop comparing apples to oranges. There have been always stupid people on this world who didn’t read books, or try to better themselves intellectually. The only difference is that now they all have Facebook and twitter account – so their ignorance is plainly visible on the interwebs. Terminally Incoherent
