I am not entirely sure there is any such thing as "true" information, or that I'd want to think I know it if there were. How could I ever
really know whether an item of information is true, or whether I only THINK it's true? Cognitive research strongly suggests that the more certain I am that
my information is "true", the more resistant I will be to contrary information which might be
more true. So it seems to me that the best approach to whatever truth there is, if any, is through fanatical and continuous self-doubt. That's the way I go: whether or not there is any actual "truth" to be known, I would rather be open to knowing it (if possible) than blinded by unfounded certainties.
With the above approach to truth, maybe you can see why it's easier for me to sink my teeth into information that is useful.
