Information/time

Nearly anything anyone could possibly want to know is now available on the internet. Information is power (it certainly is money; conceivably, with enough information, one could buy an option in a stock that´s about to increase by around 50% and achieve around a 1000% gain in one day). The problem, then, is that it takes us time to find information, and, at this point, we don´t have unlimited time. That´s the main purpose of this website: to utilize our collective filtering ability to find valuable information and then concentrate it here for you.

Or to put it in an overly simplified way: assuming information has monetary value, this website allows you to earn more money, or just gather more valuable information per hour, than you can anywhere else. We are constantly trying to increase I/t.

Our website increases your I/t by decreasing time spent searching and by providing articiles that have a higher I value than can be found elsewhere.

There is another way to increase I/t, however, and that is by decreasing the value of t. Here is a link to an article that describes a company that does exactly this:

Livelink allows you to take any reading material and decrease its t value (and increase its I value) by converting it to a format that allows you to read it faster (lower t) and retain more of what you read (higher I).

Pardon my editorial explicitive, but that is fucking amazing.

Right now this service is quite expensive, but how long will it be before all text is written in a more efficient format, before people start to investigate the means by which information reaches the brain (not just written text, but spoken word, pictures etc.) and, in every conceivable way, the connection is improved by a more efficient format.

I/t is the essence of this page. As much as we can, we have to track, promote and provide developments such as these that allow for a higher I/t.
