“What shocks me the most when i travel to the West is that even the new generations dread the future and display many of the symptoms associated with anxiety, including the inability to make plans and see them through.
As they can't identify the root cause of their distress, they indulge in fantasies about themselves and the world around them.
Thus
The Future and Reality
"Ideas that spread—whether firing neurons, viral memes, or galaxy formation—exist at the threshold between order and disorder. Too stable, nothing propagates. Too chaotic, nothing coheres.
The pattern: small perturbations occasionally cascade into massive reorganizations (power law distribution).

Curation and Future of Search and Context
Revisited: one thing I saw growing up with the Internet as Google grew, was that small lists and directories tended to disappear, and then re-appear in new incarnations, providing service, curation and selection that Google itself couldn't match, for people willing to search them out and of course pay the premium, and where there was enough interest to support this. They didn't scale - they didn't turn into chains of 30 indie directories networks - but they often prospered.
Lessons for Managing Today's Overwhelm:
History shows that successful adaptation requires taking active control of information filters rather than passively accepting them. Just as Renaissance scholars developed personal commonplace books to organize knowledge, and early internet users created bookmarking systems before Google dominated search, we... See more

Michael Simmons • Information Singularity: What Happens When Even AI Experts Can't Keep Up With AI
The web is no longer primarily human-generated text created for human readers; it is increasingly AI-generated text created for algorithmic amplification, mixed with human-generated text optimized for the same algorithmic reward functions.
