Consulting the Stars

I'm not one of Rob Breszny's biggest fans, but one must give credit where credit is due, and he really nailed my current psychic state three weeks ago:

The information produced in the world every year would fill 37,000 Libraries of Congress. Unfortunately, you haven't been keeping up very well. If you know what's good for you, you'll dramatically increase your uptake of raw data. Read more newspapers and magazines, please. Spend more time surfing the Web. Watch more TV. April Fool! 99.99 percent of all that raw data is ueless, meaningless, and corrupted with half-truth. Inf act, to best serve your mental health you should get a high-quality bullshit detector. Either that, or invite more silence into your life.

And yeah, the signal-to-noise ratio on the information streams I've been consuming has been getting a little low of late.
