principals of organization in a connection/information overloaded world

• too much interesting news
• LT subfolders (like todoLT, "bottom" for email, "needs_www", etc)

• age of connecting
• principal of simplicity (simplifymore)!!!
• FilterMore? (time is the most important element)
• reputation
• interconnect (intertwingle)
• distribute power
• read, don't write
• disconnect when needed ("factor")

look at how verbose eg Kant was. Look at how verbose even Engels was. Perhaps back then there was less information overload (or information overload had been happening for less long), so ppl didnt yet feel it was important to write concisely? not sure about that though...
