"How much information does something contain?" If you work to convey information the question is pertinent. If you work to provide content, it is not. Content providers want to maximize people who pays for the media carrying that content. The provider has, as feedback, the quantity of clicks such and such piece attracted and keeps fine tuning its content to increase the quantity of clicks. Parsimony does not come into play when we are putting content out. If one tries to convey information, as I do, it is better to use words parsimoniously. If your information has power, you don't need to add much to it. It stands on itself. I'm assumption-based. I take an assumption and keep testing it constantly against reality. If reality drains power from it, most likely my assumption is wrong. Thus I keep turning the idea upside down and giving it a hard look at all possible angles. If test after test the assumption becomes information, it is truth. Because it is very very difficult for someone to come with a complete new fact to drain power from it. As I use the system often it is a very quick. As you know it is costly and time-consuming to acquire, store and remember information. When I drew from US creation, to trace to today the US views, and people got surprised, I stopped for a moment, and remembered Alexis de Tocqueville which brought back to me the circumstances in the old center of power when the US was taking its position as opposed to what was happening in Europe. The conclusion is only one. I know things that some people here don't. Not because I am more clever. But because i know how to acquire, digest and process information in an efficient manner
