“We’re consuming more information but understanding less. We’re always ‘informed ’but rarely knowledgeable. This diet of fast, shallow news is to our minds what fast food is to our bodies – convenient, addictive, but ultimately harmful.
The solution isn’t to avoid reading but to be more deliberate in our consumption. Seek out depth over breadth. Prioritize timeless knowledge over fleeting updates. The information you plant in your mind today is the seed of future thoughts.”
