The Purpose of Informationalism


In a radically polarized and evenly divided society ruled by a minority, the often unknown but very real fear of all cultures comes into play. Stagnation.

Informationalism is an attempt at avoiding cultural stagnation. It is not a religion, it is not a law. It is a philosophy; it is a perspective.

Their exists no final redemption to informationalism. An individual cannot find salvation from themselves. However, perhaps one can see themselves in another light, and learn things that they did not know before.

Their is only the choice that pursuing information is conducive to our individual and collective will to offer some degree of understanding of our circumstances in the universe. It is an attempt to seek out knowledge in places beyond the walled cells our ethnocentric culture has built around us, and yet embrace the knowledge of that cell as part of who we are.

It is a way of recognizing the potential within every human being. It is when we think that perhaps for every problem, there is a solution.

Be attached to your theories, if you have confidence in them. But don't shut out the possibility that you might not be correct, that too is information.
