How do you find what you want and how do you know it is true?

Judy Breck quotes Howard Rhein­gold on the infor­ma­tion morass that is seek­ing what you want and know­ing if it is true:

All of the world’s knowl­edge is in the air to be plucked down by our tele­phone. Of course it’s also all the world’s dis­in­for­ma­tion, mis­in­for­ma­tion, spam, porn, Niger­ian frauds, urban leg­ends, hoaxes. So how do you find what you want and how do you know that it’s true? Those seem like to me both extremely impor­tant ques­tions today .…

The answer, says Judy Breck, is noth­ing less than to change both where we look and the way we ascer­tain truthfulness.
