‘the opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.’

*marcus aurelius

*Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 – 180) was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva-Antoine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD.

  3. “Television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information – misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information – information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.” ~ Neil Postman

  4. Is this ever true today. Most or some of us use only one or two sources for news. The ones we agree with. Events happen/change so quickly it’s hard to keep up. I am finding it harder and harder to have a discussion with friends or even some family members. The weather seems to be the safest topic.
