I particularly like the author's heirachy of information value. It applies to what individuals should be reading too. But I would probably seperate blogs/articles into "clickbait" and "serious" and put the latter category equal with books. It's important to be very selective with your internet resources, most of the internet reguritates information in a continous and boring cycle, while select corners push novel content and engaging ideas.
What does the author mean by "CRS"? Coordinate Reference Systems?

- milesvp 7y agoI'd tend to agree with this categorizing certain free blogs/web content above paywalled newspaper content. I can't really remember the last time information available from a news organization actually allowed me to change my behavior such that it helped me achieve any of my long term goals, or even modified my long term goals for that matter. Impacts of things like extreme weather and economic trends, and recently disease trends are about the only thing news is ok for, and even then, I find good comment threads give me a better general sense for the actual severity of things to come.
