Impasse
I fear that I’m at a contradictory impasse.
To wit - I think/feel that I ought to simplify my life, particularly as it pertains to that with which I occupy my thoughts and/or intellectual capacities. At the same time, however, I have a darned near insatiable desire (dare I say, compulsion) to acquire & assimilate information. Not always the information that is most productive, mind you (as I’ve often said, my brain is a vast repository of useless pop-culture triviata…), but information nonetheless. Although, now that I think about it a little more, perhaps “data” is a better/clearer descriptive term than is “information”, for information is merely data organized & put in to reasonably proper context…
Even as I feel overloaded by my desire for turning more data into more information, the sheer amount of data out there is overwhelming in its scope which, in turn, makes me want to simplify things. Then, if/when I resolve to simplify, I run up against my fear of being out of the informational “loop” — I don’t like feeling out of touch.
Oh well. It’s late, and maybe if I try to stop thinking, I can get this borderline migraine to go away…
