information [Theme] Page 4

The more primitive the information, the more understandable it is. At the same time, there are cases when a work of art is understandable only to the author. The more primitive the image, the more understandable and popular it is. "Black Square" is more understandable and popular than the cave paintings of primitive people.
The more primitive the music, poems and prose, the more they are understandable to people and popular among the masses. All art is a deception, it describes the illusions of the author and creates them. Do not try to see the meaning in art, it is not in life.
Everything that a person creates, everything that a person does - all in order to somehow justify his existence. Beauty and ugliness, joy and sorrow exist only in the minds of those who believe in them.

That is why the knowledge, understanding, information and skills is a key value for the quality of life for potential success. Be willing to succeed, ignoring the work of knowledge, analysis, thinking, training skills, means to condemn ourselves to suffering, frustration and regular fiasco.

- First, my dear, tell me about the area, and why all her to such an unhealthy interest! And then tell me who else would not mind to buy it!
- Sir, the collectors have their own...
- Bo-be-do-do-pain-pain-Bo.
- Collectors... its... ethics...
- Bo-be-do-Bo-Bo-BA-BA-do...
- All information is strictly confidential, I can't...

Documents that you request, Mr. Rezendes... very sensitive in nature.
With all due respect, your honor, it doesn't matter. Documents are in the public domain.
- Maybe so... But tell me: on the basis of journalistic ethics, is it permissible to bring this to the attention of the General public?
- On the basis of journalistic ethics, to hide it from the General public is unacceptable.

American psychologist Thomas Landauer was the first to formulate a scientific argument about the amount of information that can memorize the average person. "Whichever technique it is used, the answer was roughly the same: one Gigabyte. He did not claim that this answer is absolutely accurate. But even if he was wrong tenfold, even if people are able to retain ten times more or less than the gigabytes of information, the volume is still insignificant. This is only a small part of what we are able to maintain a modern laptop. People - not repositories of knowledge.

Be critical, rigorous and careful when it comes to receiving information, not less critical, rigorous and careful, than when you eat or medicines.

Avoid all of what is called mass media. Pictures, moving pictures, and soon pictures of virtual reality. All this attracts attention and drives your emotions, accelerating their manifestation. And this significantly affects the quality of your decisions. It is best to consume and absorb information in written form, namely in documents containing fewer hyperlinks, that is, information from books.

Ah, it's liberating when you don't have to have an opinion about everything and everyone! And again, the lack of opinions is not a sign of mental limitations - this is not necessary to be ashamed of. Lack of opinion is an asset. Problem is not information overload, and the overload of opinions.
Choose your topic yourself and choose consciously.

You can read a lot of literature, review of hundreds of videos, but you will never be able to get on a level with those who all this takes place in practice.
Even very well-read mechanic can not explain how a practicing surgeon arranged his body. How many would you not read about the experiences of a skydiver, you never understand what it feels like in the time of the flight. You will not be able to sit down and go by car, just because you lot read about him.
Always reinforce your knowledge experience. Otherwise it is not knowledge, it is information.

I went halfway around the world and realized that the most mentally healthy people live where information is transmitted from generation to generation. For example, in the mountains, where I was lucky enough to visit, the girl was not allowed to marry, while the older women will teach her the most important: needlework, so she was always able to feed themselves and to leave her husband if he bad; the treatment of the sick and burial; preparation for childbirth and birth; the ability to host guests; ability to celebrate the holidays; skill right to farm and distribute supplies.
There is a woman tormented himself with fears of "what if". There has for all action plan, pantry wisdom you can access at any time.

The abundance of data generates a lack of attention.

Amazing how empty of people such full information?

Original paintings are silent and still. It can not boast of information. Even the reproduction hanging on the wall, incomparable in this respect with the original, where silence and peace pervade the material itself, the paint, allowing to trace directly the movements of the artist. And thus reduced the temporal distance between the creation of the painting and our staring at her. In this specific sense, all paintings are thoroughly modern. Hence the immediacy of their testimony. The historical moment is literally standing in front of our eyes.

In the era of reproducibility images, the value of the paintings are already not assigned to him; its value is transferable: that is, it becomes a kind of information, like any information, it is either used or ignored; information has no special power by itself. When the picture is used, its value is either modificarea, or completely changed. We must clearly realize, what exactly this means. It's not about the fact that the reproduction is unable to correctly reproduce certain aspects of the original; a reproduction makes it possible (and even inevitable) that the image will be used for a variety of purposes, and a copy, unlike the original, will be able to adapt to them all.
