It’s one of the biggest pitfalls of all, but one that often comes up in conversations with people on the internet. People often get caught up in the instantaneous nature of information and find themselves becoming preoccupied by the idea that it’s all there, right in front of them. There are two basic ways this can happen.
So the first is that you don’t always agree on what to do. That’s the worst of it. You don’t agree on what’s going to happen, and so the most important thing you can do is think about what you agree on.
The worst of it is that you dont always agree on whats going to happen, and so the most important thing you can do is think about whether you agree.
The second way it can happen is that you dont agree on the why. You dont agree on what will happen, and so you end up getting sidetracked or losing focus. The most important thing is to always keep the why in sight.
I know there are a lot of questions out there, but I’m going to stop here.
Some people worry about the “biggest” pitfalls associated with information, and one of them is this. Information is very powerful. It can change the course of history. It can alter the choices of people. It can influence the decisions of politicians. It can even influence the choices of people who don’t want to be influenced, and so you should be careful that you know what you’re talking about.
There are different types of information. You have the facts, then there are the opinions, and then there are the stereotypes.
Facts are what you can see for yourself on a physical piece of paper. Or on your computer screen. Or on your computer. Facts are the stuff that you can see with your eyes. Opinion is what you can infer based on what you hear or see. Stereotypes, on the other hand, are what you can infer based on what you read and what you believe.
Facts are generally easy to identify. Opinion can be harder. Because opinion is what you think you know about the person you’re talking to, so it’s easy to spot the stereotype. But the other types of information, like facts, often are hard to identify without looking for them. Sometimes you can tell the opinion type from the facts type, but that’s about it.
