"“Infobesity” creatively describes “the function of consuming, without intentional control, a vast array of ultra-processed, commercially produced, and marginally nutritious information. Unchecked, our brains still digest it all using ‘stacked’ biases which are cognitively ‘smoothed over’ so we don’t see the immediate effect.” - Polymathic Being
It’s part of our Operational System, and we are not trained to use these biases correctly, conducively, or in a healthy way. They are algorithm; a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. They can be understood, designed and engineered.
Lacking informed judgment, informed consent, informed participation; lacking accuracy of what responsibly and accountably would be facts, and understanding of healthy effective prioritization and natural and logical consequences…and experiencing candid learning disorders… does lead to dysfunction, don’t you think?
