There is no doubt about it, there was a time, for example Ptolemy the Greek King in Alexandria focused his efforts on amassing books – so did many who could have done anything – knowledge to them was desire – as we have saturated ourselves with infinite knowledge… – more then anyone can ever hope to know… – two things have occurred – the first is when the brain has too much info. it reverts ("go with what is simple") and the second it forces us to discern – both amazing positives
