The Feast + Nokia invite you to Change Connections

The problem is there is the constant threat of over-stimulation, of becoming overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of information that is not only accessible to you, but is actively shared with you (i.e. sent to you by your social networks). It’s mentally numbing, much like too many choices at the store can actually hinder a buyer’s ability to choose what to purchase. There must be a better way to organize and funnel information you receive; by your interests, strengths, etc. Information needs to be in manageable, actionable packets. Unfortunately the way it is: you’re all at see, and you can’t sacrifice enough time on any one nugget of insight to retain it for later. It’s the antithesis to economies of scale: Over-multitasking your intelligence, while perhaps a fascinating cognitive exercise, is neither efficient nor effective (much like broad-based education). Focusing on only on a handful of things most salient to you, or what you are strongest at handling would be best. There are already content “funnels” on social networks, how using them not for marketing purposes, but for epistemic specialization (with connection points/segues for similar/“neighboring” proficiencies).
