speed of information and depth of ignorance

I like going to cafes by myself, just to have some tea and let my mind wander around. Often I end up eavesdropping the nearby conversations. Sometimes the level of ignorance I witness is stupefying.

The fact that these conversations are sprinkled with Facebook videos shown across the tables indicates to me that the increased speed of information is responsible for this.

Our minds are quite defenceless against junk. In fact, when not armed with a good common sense and good education, our minds attract junk like a giant black hole. The greater the amount of junk circulating around us, the greater our junk density becomes.

In other words, the increased speed of good information does not have a cancelling effect on the increased speed of junk, because we attract junk much faster.
