Producing information about the challenges of managing information seems a little meta to me, yet it seems that the current algorithmic approaches are missing the mark somehow. The information problem is both an individual problem and it is a collective...
Read moreIt has become somewhat mimetic to write something about mimesis. However, once you learn about mimesis, you just can’t unsee it. Not only do you see mimetic behavior in everything, but you see more and more articles mentioning mimesis. For...

Information doesn’t fit in boxes. Once you put information in a box, it becomes less visible and its value slowly begins to depreciate. Yet, day after day, information is forced into boxes. While data usually fits into these boxes, the Read more…

The best way to manage infinity is to pretend that it doesn’t exist. Sometimes putting constraints on things is the only way to get things done. Sometimes these constraints are real like the within the laws of physics, but sometimes Read more…
Data addiction is a huge and cascading problem as data increasingly moves toward infinity. Data is valuable, but its value is overestimated. The right data, applied appropriately is useful, but contrary to the prevailing wisdom, having more data doesn’t necessarily Read more…
Your data is worth nothing. No, really. When there is so much data available every bit of additional data has diminishing returns. For all the times that new information provides meaningful clarity, there are more times that more information is Read more…
