This is the Age of Too Much Information. The problem is that 99% of it is self-generated, recycling the same spin in endless combinations of interchangeable data. I think it&#8217;s an evolutionary product of the ability to Cut and Paste. All this information obviously hasn&#8217;t made us smarter, and it sure as hell hasn&#8217;t made us healthier or happier. This is a giant Glass Bead Game, a giant Gameboy, an immense Barnum &amp; Bailey smoke and mirrors production designed to steal our money, steal our time, burn away our precious life, and give us unnatural values.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOur only hope for escape is independent study, boring as that may sound. We are losing the ability to formulate ideas &#8211; 5 minutes of listening to any radio station pretty much clinches that idea. That&#8217;s just it &#8211; we have to tune out &#8211; we have to stop listening to the Matrix. It&#8217;s all the same and it&#8217;s everywhere &#8211; you know what I&#8217;m talking about. We have to find ways to tune back into the universal, and steal our time back for ourselves; to have a life. Time is our total capital; why waste it being told what to think or how to act by some mass panderers?\n<\/p>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<div>\nDr Tim O&#8217;Brien<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have found (again) something I have needed to find.&nbsp; This is just one excerpt.&nbsp; Please check out the entire site.
