Information, where?

One of the most important dilemmas nowadays, from my perspective, is where the hell do retrieve information for something. I know, this is such a simple task, “Just Google It”, but what happens when you need reliable information? Information that can change the perspective of how you see the world, or the future of a whole country, for instance.

The amount of information available for our consumption, nowadays, is mind-boggling. You can know about religion, science, biology at glance. But when the information being consumed is from a nutcrack with charisma, that is where the problem extend beyond our limits. Take for example Hitler, Trump, both insanely charismatic, but with a secret agenda and an insanely mis devious purpose. Even though, most of the people was not expecting them to win they did, but how was this possible? Knowledge and information.

I am not saying that knowing things and having information will necessarily make you a bad human being, not at all, just the opposite. What I am saying is, why and how is it possible that by having information at glance about anything that we need to know we are still hesitating about what is right or wrong?

Hopefully we will understand, sooner than Later.
