#philosophy #mind #information # Modern society and changes in **information** nature and velocity Modern society brought enormous change in the nature of the **information** human beings are exposed to. Nature learned to use the **information** that was useful to it to survive but humans created a new form of **information**. This new information is of very different velocity and nature. Can human beings handle this or it will lead to [[The fall of evolution]]? >The function of the brain is to limit our mental life to what is practically useful. But for the brain, one gathers, everything would be perceived, but in fact we only perceive what interests us ~ [[Bergson]] Is **information** following the law of [[Entropy]]? Our world is increasingly complex, but we keep using reductionist solutions and are fooled by randomness and struck by negative [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Black Swan]]s. I am personally skeptical about the capacity of the human hardware and software to handle this complexity, we must merge with machines and [[Artificial intelligence]].
