Oh yes, I agree. I have decided to create one tailor-made also for me.

During few weeks without the information overload I discovered that:

• Having the overview and discussing the current affairs personally as an unbiased listener is more liberating than analysing the text alone behind the screens.

• The categorization of received news reveals those which simply interpret the source and those which really generate the original information.

• Working on a computer presents a risk of being distracted by reading various articles and clicking on random links. Their reduction increases my productivity and I am able to be more focused on my tasks, without temptation of countless distractions.

• Ignorance is bliss. It eliminates the prejudices, teaches us not to be opinionated nor to ask the right question.

• Any form of “decentralization” of receiving information eliminates the manipulation of thinking.

We are being indoctrinated by a fear agenda to excessively consume media, television and radio. Let’s not forget that a frightened mind can be easily manipulated, which is used by both political power and corporates. Few of the wealthiest IT companies with a monopoly set the global opinions. They decide which information we receive; thus, they have boundless power. Because we don’t care. We consider the freedom of speech as a right without any duties and responsibilities and meanwhile it slips through our fingers.
