Knowledge vs. self-knowledge
What do you think of this idea: the vast majority of information in the world is of no concern to us as individuals. It’s nothing but a waste of time and a load of rubbish, yet there are some bits of information dotted here and there that are absolutely indispensable and essential to our lives.
If this is so, the mechanics to a higher quality of life could include:
(a) working out the difference between what’s useful to us and what’s useless
(b) working out how to receive pearls of wisdom as and when they come our way
(c) working out how to transform raw or partially-formed information into fully-formed vials of knowledge
(d) working out how to link multiple pieces of information that can come together to form an insight or a eureka! moment.
