know NOTHING!
What we do not all have to know! The information avalanche overwhelmed us. But the more we can know and are, the less it is possible to gain knowledge. How can I make myself a question? How reconsider understand?

knowledge is faint. We know no more. The knowledge required and, even more unnecessary, visibly crushed any reflection of the known. Knowledge destroys knowledge. We are simply not up to. What we have to know everything. The abundance of Impressive revisions is beyond our intellectual capacity. Those gelatinized the brain, one is never free but always confiscated. We at best will not rezipieren what we are being forced on offer or better. We do not have the time to focus, at best, we manage an acceptance, to accommodate itself, we are no longer capable.
That Savvy and reflection are not necessarily the same will come many a head does not arise. Knowledge, although a prerequisite of reflection, they eliminated more and more. The more we can know and are, the less it is possible to gain knowledge. Our attentions are moving into a pulp. We are overwhelmed, do not dictate the pace, but pant to the rear. The speed is not equal, let us try to come along in some way. Somehow.
"Therefore we must all the garbage that you hear and read daily, store in any case" suggests Karli Sackbauer alias Klaus Rott in "VOR-Magazin" before. That would be easy. Forget it, we have no buttons and no bags to the drop off or displacement could Perren. We do not decide what is to be noted and forgotten. "In one ear in, get out the other" does not like that. Always Catching, we may take us about an account or not. The access is not ours, but he has us in its grip. If I do not want something, does not mean that I do not know.
How do I get to really know Richard Lugner and all his wives to do? Why am I subject to information? Falls under the freedom of the media? If not, among then? - What makes us firmly as a knowledge particles, which determines the specific energy of the intrusion. In any case, we have no shield against these penetrance. They pattered down on us.
thinking needs rest and relaxation, distance and aloofness. It must be different from their own experience and can issue immediate certainties, must be no affirmative ratio have on those criteria. Listening means more than listening, seeing means more than watching. But this alone part of individual reception, it is not visibly impossible? Knowledge is in contrast to unmarried knowledge without active leisure have not. Only you can in that attack. The healthy doubt on all our knowledge is thus the condition of reflexive, especially the self-reflective discussion: Why do I see something like this and not otherwise? What are constitutional powers to prepare me and direct me? What I am is me?
But we come ever so far? Deleting the density of daily life, stress, not all of these questions simply by and, ultimately, from memory? Is not conscious understanding a business problem, so a company failure, eliminating the need to eliminate so?
The information industry organizes information according to the laws of public relations: It is not what is interesting, but what is deductible. Hyping appease, exacerbated dispose hush, for these and similar patterns formed of the same media market news spots. The prime focus is excitement and outrage. And even the
criticism can not be expressed differently than in the hype, they will be perceived. If you then it's tricks, such as when charged climate scientists are aware, it is equivalent to the whole climate change issue. But even those are delivered to commercial competition for research funds, and there's dramatization announced beyond the drama. A message that is not a spectacle, no message. What is not obvious, under the table.
is of course trite to say it, that information (as well as other goods) are dimensioned to their saleability. But that fact has fatal consequences. Truth and reality are not completely disappear, but they are subordinate materials medial reconstruction. Not at this aggressive transmitter without the unlimited willingness of the recipient to think. And not just a slightly abzufütterndes mass audience is meant.
Example: In contrast to the earthquake in Haiti, which after all was a fundamental and momentous event remain and are Katzi, Bambi and Mausi never been real events, even if they are to vomiting occurred. Their stories are only the tiniest emotional excrement and emotionalised disasters in the canyons of intimacy. But prepared media, Lugners dolls in this country had a higher rate, what is the destruction of Port-au-Prince against the latest tearjerker of Bambi or the embryo to paternity search, Nightclubber Katzi of tablets or their consumption, the snake feeding on Mausi or their shopping trips? It's amazing already, of all this even have any idea to have. However, if the unreal and irrelevant to such may set the stage, they have become real and relevant.
DemTaumel is indeed hardly to miss, on every street corner there grinning, it sounds from each speaker. It clings and klettet where we turn. It shakes but not shaken by it only. Nothing is in its effect so deafening as the spectacle. The louder the shrieks, the more numb we become, the more colorful it stares, the more blind. Who is deaf and blind, is also silent. We can certainly speak of in this context, the importunities of an anesthetic or an implosion of the attention. The fact that we live in an age of enlightenment, is a persistent rumor anyway. That the self-inflicted immaturity is over, too. We still live in dark times masse effective enchantments. But what is still called? More than ever!
"swine flu explodes," wrote a daily newspaper on 10 November last year on the cover, it carried out the newly vaccinated President brunt of all this was a -.. One should not always look into the distance - my youngest daughter. Valentina had had fever on a Friday and was sent home from school. Well, nothing special, should be thought, especially since the height of the body temperature is kept within limits and no limb pain sets in. Containing a flu infection. However, as the school doctor was present at random said Friday that he took my daughter for a saliva sample and let them investigate. More we had not needed, because now we had promptly: the swine flu. When we were informed on Monday that the child was afebrile, and two days later, probably all would have been forgotten. But now, drawn with this diagnosis, Valentina bad it went straight: She began to suffer, was quite dissatisfied with it, it forms a many things and could not enjoy their school holidays. This finding she had taken more than their sensibilities.
Each disease produces specific economic interests and prospects. Is a vaccine in sight, the disease is already in the neighborhood. More than vice versa. Whether the threat is now real, marginal or even unreal, is secondary. From diseases not primarily interested in diagnosis and therapy, but their usefulness by the health industry.
amazement I sit in front of "Le Monde diplomatique", where I A statistics on the use of official development assistance understand that was issued in 2007 for AIDS / HIV for more than malaria, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases combined, a total of over seven billion dollars. Incidentally, this is by far the largest item. Flows most Aid about African diversions into Central pharmaceutical corporations? Undoubtedly, the virus is not trivial, but it follows the Apocalypse? AIDS may actually be a great danger, but also the largest fundraising effort by health industry. At least I had the HIV virus often feel that the Lobby is strong. Malaria and tuberculosis as convey the opposite impression. Funds for research, medicine and care can be thus accruing only when the public agencies and private donors, a sufficient threat scenario is offered.
The basis for forming a solid opinion, how should I take that? Scio, nescio. I know I do not know, but I do not know what I do not know. But the philosophy does not help much. Dedicated statements are difficult. This may be a skeptical interpretation, but everything else seems to me now as arrogance. I meet people from the field, so Conviction, I have to fit, for against the stupidity of a position is untenable instability.
Wading through the morass of info, I'm always suspicious. No all-clear can be trusted and no alarm. With this insight need to keep a confidence on the track, because it seems naive. The flip side to the notorious credulity is then the constant mistrust. It is not easy to position the healthy doubt correctly, without resorting to an extreme. But rules of extremism, from mosquitoes to elephants and mosquitoes from elephants. Think of the unimpressive customizable trivialization, the all-clear in every crisis There. Or the inflation of the Apocalypse, which always sees the end of the world to himself. Occasionally there are even the same institutions that serve these manuals. One need only recall the rise and decline of the swine flu.
minimization and exaggeration to run as a pair of twins from event to event. You rock on, and they swing from. Verschaukelt of them do not be too difficult. Overstate and appease are obligatory. Dimensional and ruthlessness are also included. Where indeed can be anything, a lot will not care. The permanent pacification produced lethargy, the rampant alarmism breeds indifference. Both in turn produce fatalism: we can always do nothing, and therefore we do not always fulfill our duty and always keep your mouth anyway. Eh. Maybe we think we still do our part, but mostly we think, what we think. Others think otherwise. Perhaps thinking is what crazy anyway.
