Assume that all information that exists at t = 0 shares more similarity with other information at t = 0, than information at t = other. Then all information that exists in the present observation has a uniform probability of being correct, without having to verify the correctness of the information.
Assume that information is deterministic - in that information has a limit of what it is capable of expressing given enough time.
Assume that information taken at t = 0 and information taken at t = n and t = -n shares similar degrees of complexity, transformation, simplification, mechanical operation. All information moves uniformly.
There are lots of things that already exist in culture that present themselves as fact or truth, when there really isn't any reason to have initialized yourself on agreement when you were first taught it, aside from cultural and societal pressure.
I don't like google, but what google is doing is no different than what anything else does when it creates, alters, and destroys information. The localization of the information doesn't matter, as the transformational functions applied to the information can be universal, random, and chaotic.
In simpler terms, someone at google may implement one way to think, which spreads virally across an entire population, but they may have learned that one way to think from something they learned isolated from civilization on top of a mountain. And they may change it tomorrow, because something seemingly trivial changed, like someone's tone of voice in an otherwise predictable meeting that occurs every Thursday at 2:15 pm. In retrospect, it's still ambiguous as to what has significance and what does not. Patterns are no different from chaos from an objective perspective.
