Its worse than Valdis says. "Information" is never evenly distributed as
Valdis says. I think the statement refers to data rather than information
- but even that can never be evenly shared.
What makes if worse is that information is not something that we get from
outside. Information is something that is created from within. I'm told
(and it looks obvious) that the roots of the word are "formed from
within".
This actually makes it "better" rather than worse for me. That is the
guarantee that there will always be only places for unique beings -
whether individuals or companies or communities - and that there can never
be imposed effective central control.
My "information" and your "information" are never the same. This allows
for the rich possibilties of the pursuit of mastery. Boredom is not a
part of this pursuit. Neither is sameness.
