2021/7/30 Regarding the internet in the sense of a vast and easily accessible library of knowledge, it is tiresomely common to find that the time spent absorbing information related to some work that is being done outweighs or severely detracts from the work itself. Predigested answers are really best when you are stuck to prevent getting sidetracked into research and gaining new understanding. Before writing, all direct answers were predigested. You could only get them from people who had a sense of what to answer. They could expand upon things that didn't yet make sense to you or direct your attention away and to more relevant things that did make sense. This form of knowledge exchange is still possible but we also have written language and other forms of media that don't have the capability of explaining or redirecting you, but with the internet it seems like we can get all those explanations with a bit more time, by looking them up ourself. This deception is hard to shake, even when you know it is not true.
