The delete button has become our chief defense against the glut of the age. Doubling the total information store of all human history every few months (or is it even more frequent now?) is quite an achievement, but we’ve now got ourselves into a pickle about what to do with it all.
How have humans culled important knowledge in the past? Is it really bad that we have “lost” most knowledge during much of our hundreds of thousands of years of existence? And did we really “lose” it or is it preserved in a modified form?
