Dealing with a plethora of information is hardly new


The cave folk of Lascaux were no less hobbled than we with the plethora of information out there
Our brains are used at miniscule percentages
Geniuses are people afflicted with the bug of universality
They connect everything they see because they believe it is connected
We do not know that exactly
We could slough off what does not work for example and be better off perhaps
The whole argument about real and virtual is also a red herring
What hits back when you hit it is what is real
The rest is perception
Peirce appeals to me because he allows for impressions to be seen as signs  
And he suggests that signs bump up against one thing and another
And that when we connect the sign and the bump we move toward a habit
Habits are the hypotheses we test until we know if they work or not

We can rest easy amid the plethora with two salient thoughts
God does not play dice
True but that does not obviate chance and wiggles in the sphere of things 
We live in an evolving reality 
Dogmatism is anything and everything in every sphere that overreaches the penumbra of vagueness that encompasses our existence
