An intriguing presentation, one that has illuminated several things about society to me, as well as about myself. A very solid case for the idea that our "Destiny" is under our control, and only we can change it's course, for better or worse.
We must move on from the mentality of a mapped out path for individuals, and move on to better things. I would love to have some other opinions, as I myself am still processing this information as a whole.
One thing I find is that it is very easy to lose sight of the "Big Picture" so to speak. I'm currently in the process of training myself to trace the lines in order to connect the dots with every bit of information I slowly gather. It can be a slow process with all of the information I take in day by day, it usually takes me about a week to sort through everything from the previous week, usually at the end of each day I go through the news stories and such that I have book marked, and will categorize it by relevance and interest.
A question I have is how do other people perform this task? Everyone's mind works differently, so it would be interesting to learn how others do it.

@Nicholas - Information can be an accelerant or decelerant of wisdom depending of how and how much we consume. Too much information and less time to brood over it decelerates our thought process whereas some information with time to digest and ideate fares better with our brains. Excellent talk about how we go from being haphazard to being social to an individual. Interesting claim that most adults don't develop individuality until mid life which surprisingly coincides with peak mental function!

@Praveen- Truly an eye opening talk. I wonder if there is some way to gauge in general how much information is too much in one sitting so to speak. I have indeed come to the realization that I have been spreading my resources thin by trying to learn too much at once cont...

any suggestions on how to prioritize information?

@Nicholas - Roughly we need as much idle time as we spend assimilating information at the minimum. Prioritizing certain sources or aspects over others may not be the ideal way. I believe in following our gut and curiosity. Finally its important to learn to breeze through details and get to the gist of what we are interested in if we want to truly master this act!
