Information and Intelligence

We live in the information overload age. But information alone doesn't make people smarter. Information  has become difficult to trust or even know what's true. Learning to parse information is where intelligence can be found. If you can learn to find good information you live in a good time. If you’re unable to filter information you may live in the worst of times. This is exactly how very bad ideas can become “viral”. Technology takes things to market much faster, its expanse is worldwide and bad ideas travel fast. The best “fact checker” is you. Become your own fact checker. Find better information and use it to fact check. Don’t just allow yourself to be told what’s correct and incorrect. It seems the official fact checkers are really just agenda pushers.
