Ah, to heck with wisdom!! We are drowning in data while starving for information!!

  I think you’re getting downvotes for the phrasing, but this is an insightful point: We have signal; which only becomes information when you successfully decode it. Which raises questions: eg, would we be better off sampling less and analyzing more — to extract a better portion of information from the already captured signal? But the confusion itself also points to a lack of wisdom — lots to think about.

    there's also a lot of noise

      If you look at the system as a whole, at least when it comes to search engines, you would even say it demands noise. If there were no potential for monetary gains in SEO spam sites then the amount of noise groups like Google would have to filter would drop dramatically.
