More From Jodi Picoult

Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?

We hypostatize information into objects. rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. this is a language which we have lost the ability to read. we ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. we ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form. we are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing.

Information wants to be free.' so goes the saying. stewart brand, the founder of the whole earth catalog, seems to have said it first.i say that information doesn't deserve to be free.cybernetic totalists love to think of the stuff as if it were alive and had its own ideas and ambitions. but what if information is inanimate? what if it's even less than inanimate, a mere artifact of human thought? what if only humans are real, and information is not?...information is alienated experience.

Television is altering the meaning of 'being informed' by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. disinformation does not mean false information. it means misleading information - misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information - information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.
Mean Creating Knowing
A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

You can make the argument that there's no such thing as the past. nobody lived in the past. they lived in the present. it is their present, not our present, and they don't know how it's going to come out. they weren't just like we are because they lived in that very different time. you can't understand them if you don't understand how they perceived reality.
