Filtering

Notes

Claim

If Distillment is about capturing the essence of what we consume, then filtering is about choosing what to consume in the first place.

Explanation

Filtering is hard because it's not always clear what should be the criteria that we filter by, and even if we think we do, the noise tries to disguise itself as worthy of keeping, like click-bait headings that triggers us to continue reading even if we didn't really plan to do so Attention Economy. Tasks might appear as urgent or important just because they were displayed that way, although they are actually meaningless Image vs core.

Why it Matters

Examples

Supporters

We know that Garbage in garbage out, so the more we are careful and mindful about what we consume, the better off we will be. In most cases, less is more, sticking with a few reliable sources is better than listing without discretion.

Opposers

If we are not careful, we might be overwhelmed with Noise that will lead us astray.
