We view information as something neutral; a spotlight that helps illuminate the reality of the outside world. Therefore, more information is better than less. In this episode, Cal pushes back against this model, arguing that the form in which information arrives can have a big impact on the understanding we extract from it. So we need to be more intentional about what we pay attention to and how. He then answers readers' questions and examines unusual but entertaining stories about slowness.
