by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - August 31, 2011 - 'The Greatest' Philosophy

Back in 1994, I had great hopes that the information age will bring us out of the intellectual dark ages and into the light.  I could have never imagined that people would simply ignore readily available information and bask in their own stupidity.  I don't think that information is making us stupid.  I think that people's bias and prejudice are so severe that they have no interest in it. 

One of the consequences of working in a profession such as law where there is virtually no innovation and little incentive to change is that technology has not even been powerful enough to show people the light.
