It’s Easier Than Ever to Know a Little

by Dwayne Phillips

There is so much information available to us, what do we do? Wait, there are also so many great summaries of information available to us. It is easier than ever to know a little. Is that a good thing?

It is easier than ever to know a little:

  • Google something
  • Read the first paragraph of a Wikipedia page
  • Ask ChatGPT et al for a 100-word summary
  • And more

It is still just as hard to know something in detail and depth. That takes time. Study a while; contemplate a while, and repeat with periods of writing and exploring ideas interspersed.

Naw, let’s just toss out a few buzzwords and blurbs. That’s much easier, and other folks really don’t want to know much.

Explain and understand in depth? Someone else will do that.

We can do better. Let’s try.
