Communication inflation

Hard to dispute.

Most books should just have been mag articles, most articles should be blog posts, most blog posts should be tweets & most tweets never sent

How do we take advantage of the new availability of information while screening out distractions and cognitive pollution. We are, collectively, still working towards that solution.
