The prevailing belief suggests that the more access we have to information, the greater our knowledge and, subsequently, our wisdom.
However, reality paints a different picture. Instead of fostering deeper comprehension and insight, the influx of information often leads to a need for more judgment, understanding, and wisdom.

This inundation of information has also cultivated a culture where one of the gravest social faux pas is to appear uninformed and lacking opinions, spanning topics from politics to what’s trending in pop culture. Consequently, we hastily form opinions based on fragmentary information and surface-level impressions, rather than genuine understanding.
