Loss of information

Loss of data

Nature

As information gets greater, it is even more difficult to keep a track of it. There is less regard for information storage than creation. Data and information are being lost all the time, at great cost to societal development.

Claim

The loss of information is a critical issue that threatens the very foundation of knowledge and progress. In an age where data drives innovation, the erosion of information—whether through digital decay, censorship, or neglect—undermines our ability to learn from the past and make informed decisions for the future. This crisis not only stifles creativity and critical thinking but also jeopardizes democracy and societal advancement. We must prioritize the preservation and accessibility of information to safeguard our collective future.

Counter-claim

Knowledge is always gained by the orderly loss of information, that is by condensing and abstracting and indexing the proliferating information in society into a form which can be appreciated and comprehended.
