You're deluded. It's ok, we all are. Our brains are hard wired to seek out data just like our brains are hard wired to seek out sugar. Both were rare in the olden days and could extend your life. These days, we have too much of both. That said, if you were to see something that matched your venn diagram of Affects your life, not Aware Of and not yet Interested In, would you even know it? Most people wouldn't, because new information in that category often threatens their world view. I seek out information in a similar venn, but mine looks more like Affects Your Life, not Aware Of, but very Interested In. I'm not interested specifically in any particular topic, but I'm very interested in anything that challenges my current perception of the world, no matter where it comes from. As a result, I read a lot of blogs and twitter feeds written by people most would consider mentally deranged. Except they're not mentally deranged; they're often more rigorously logical than their detractors. As for how to automate the task of finding this information, I have high hopes for machine learning and neural networking, but my own exploration of that area is in its infancy.
