Information doesn’t mean facts. Information means actionable facts that were unexpected.
This is the Shannon definition for technical purposes, and this is also how the nervous system defines information. The eyes and ears have exquisitely tuned active filter mechanisms to turn down predictable inputs and turn up unpredictable and useful inputs.
Here’s the first piece of information I’ve seen about this week’s election. The writer points to the crucial importance of UFC in Trump’s victory. I hadn’t heard of UFC before. It’s a league for ‘cagefighting’, which is apparently a new version of boxing or wrestling. The head of the UFC accompanied Trump on his campaign and was cohost of the victory speech.
UFC plus Joe Rogan plus Elon = total influence on young dissatisfied men. You could probably add the bitcoin influencers like Michael Saylor as well.
