Or maybe this is a sort of a system law that 20% of people must have 80% of information while 80% of people have only 20%.

"Infotainment" is a way to keep most people ignorant in the age when information is easily accessible. I hope it is. Otherwise, it might be a "final approach" to "Idiocracy".

I also think that the human race has faced something new. I got a theory that, since recent times, we have a common information system in the world. People have been united into the big info system first time in history. Probably, the Australian bushfires were the first event that broke the remains of the walls. I travelled much and I have facebook friends from Asian countries like India, Thailand, Vietnam, China as well as ex-Soviet countries, Eastern and Western Europe. I was surprised that right everybody was involved in the drama. I have never experienced this before.

So, when information seas (national info spaces) combine in one, we are getting a global info ocean. And the difference between a sea and an ocean is that we never have tsunamis in the Baltic or Black Sea.

Covid made us forget the grade of insanity Australian bushfires brought. There was a huge drama. But what news gave us was much more.

Animals burning alive - literally billions of koalas and kangaroos, people that can't breathe, a child in a gas mask...

The source of the photo: Girl in a gas mask, holding a koala: The truth behind that viral Australian bush fires photo

When I see this image that resembles a photograph from the satellite (below)... And I told myself this could be only a fake. Maybe, because I studied geography at university.

Meanwhile, many friends from FB believed that Australia became a piece of burning charcoal. People felt we lost Australia and that the climate will finish the Earth quite soon.

(Don't forget also that many people from all sort of authoritarian countries, disappointed with their own societies, states and media, trust Western media a bit more than they deserve.)

So this was the first time when facebook and google got involved in making news (instead of being just platforms for spreading information) and started to fight against fakes. Covid and Trump-vs-Baiden were 2 more global info tsunamis.
