# Nonscientific information is merely harmful
Everything that does not lie in the scientific and [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Falsifiability|falsifiable]] realm is merely harmful because of standing on weak epistemic shoulders.
The quantity of [[Information|information]] generated is highly growing in a nonlinear fashion, kind of following the [[Second law of thermodynamics]], and if you consume all this information without filter, you are intellectually dead.
