Informational Fallacy

The fallacious belief that only that which can be quantified, digitally encoded, or formally computed is "real" or constitutes valid knowledge. It dismisses qualitative experiences, subjective consciousness, moral intuitions, and analog phenomena as "illusions" or "epiphenomena" because they cannot be fully captured in a discrete, measurable data stream. It's a form of extreme reductionism that mistakes the map (the informational model) for the territory (lived reality).

Example: "Love is just a biochemical algorithm for gene propagation. If you can't model it in a neural network or measure it in serotonin levels, it's not a real phenomenon, just a story we tell." This statement commits the Informational Fallacy by asserting that the computable aspect is the only reality, reducing a rich human experience to mere data processing.

My instructor wasted so much time in class yesterday that today was basically projectile information.

International Information Syndicate

A long time ago, in the year 2018, there existed a community of libertarian socialists who read books together and shared memes. Alas, that community fell into chaos, and factions splintered in many directions. The chieftain, Otalp, left the land and started his own tribe, known as Breadtube. The owner of the server, Captain Waffles, read a Michael Parenti quote. He then denied most genocides in Eastern Europe.

Person A: The International Information Syndicate was the shit back in the day.

Person B: What happened to it?
Person A: Tankies.

Post information age

If some are calling these days the most information ate, and journalists are the ones keeping people informed, that means at least some are the journalists are giving people bullshit instead of good information.

At least some of the journalists are keeping people misinformed, and not informed, if there is any truth to post information age.
