When More Information Isn't a Good Thing

Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "'Most of the time, speedier, cheaper information allows the economy to produce more from less, often by eliminating mistakes, cutting wasted effort and shrinking doubt,' David Wessel writes in the Wall Street Journal. But better information through technology has a downside; sometimes, efficiency benefits certain players to the detriment of society. One example Wessel cites: software that tells patent litigants which courts have the most favorable historical record for their side. 'It doesn't help the economy produce more goods or services. It creates nothing of beauty or pleasure,' he writes. 'It simply helps someone get a bigger slice of the pie.'"

  1. INDIAN SCIENCE IS ON TEH SPOKE by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Scientists are finding early evidence of the fact that super advanced alien type IV civilizations are capable of traveling through the Hyperpsace and Universes instantaneously.

    Serious investigation is going on how they can do the same.

    They do it by converting mass into zero point energy (ZPE), isolating illusion of time from the overlap and reaching the state of integrated singularity. The ZPE is then sent to the exact spatial in the Hyperspace or any part of the Universes. Isolating time this way allows type IV alien civilizations to travel to any part of the Universe, other Universes and the 5-D Hyperspace instantaneously.

    Isolating time which is really an illusion in the physical universe, makes the Universe overlap with the Hyperspace. Everything is then become integrated and everything is then part of the same.

    The point of integrated state of singularity can be reached in many ways. One way would be to isolate time by approaching speed equal to light. The other will be converting all mass into ZPE. The third method is practiced from ancient days. It is the process of meditation and focused concentration. The ZPE within all living beings can influence to isolate the time and create the scenario of consciousness.

    The type IV alien UFOs travel by isolating time and reach speed tens of thousand time that of light. These UFOs have the capability of converting its mass into high frequency ZPE. It can also exist in low frequency ZPE and any state in between. The UFO is mass less in travel mode. It is somewhat quasi-physical in real mode when they assume shape and size to observe or react.

    Scientists are also investigating and trying to reverse engineer the concept that UFOs travel, communicate and exist through the use consciousness. According to modern physics, it is possible. It is possible to exist in time isolated integrated singularity mode through practice of spiritual meditation.

    Joanna: Oh, what if you get caught? Oh, I, I, I, I just don't know if this is such a good idea. Peter: (angry) Yeah? Well, maybe it wasn't such a good idea for you to sleep with Lumbergh!
