From The Twittering Machine (2020) by Richard Seymour:
We naively think of ourselves as either “information rich” or “information poor.” What if it doesn’t work that way? What if information is like sugar, and a high-information diet is a benchmark of cultural poverty? What if information, beyond a certain point, is toxic?
