followed by a mention that no one does this with the implication that information overload and the pressures of time don’t allow this.
I only feel such overload if I don't pause to reflect and merely keep taking stuff in. [[Information overload 20040327145709]] [[Info overload of overvloed verschil is surprisal 20220810090704]] Information value is not determined by the sender but by the receiver. If I don't pause the firehose just isn't information. It takes me as an observer to collapse noise into information in one's personal reality.

Igor mentions he coined 'Denial of Future Attack' in 2016, intentionally swamping people w info, so their ability to choose / decide is eroded.

A Denial of Future Attack is about the overwhelming influx of information that paralyzes decision-making, particularly regarding actions crucial for shaping future outcomes. Unlike a Denial of Service attack, which targets digital infrastructure, a DoFA targets the human mind’s capacity to process information and make decisions.
A DoFA is swamping someone/a process with so much information (fake, true or whatever) so that it stalls proper decision making. DoFA targets people's agency by hobbling information processing and thus obstructing decision making. Misinfo/desinfo campaigns then are a form of DDoF. Examples given also suggest a DoFA may succeed if there is only a hint of misinfo/fakery, making all information suspect. Vgl [[Reverse Turing menszijn bewijs vaker nodig 20230505100459]]
