Knowledge Value Depreciation

The ease of access to and availability of knowledge resources has increased dramatically. With easy-to-use personal devices, anyone can know anything anywhere. The phenomenon can only be compared with its absence.
 
Yet, we see amazingly dumb people even in the most unlikeable places in the world. Has the easy availability of knowledge devalued meaningful and connected knowledge? Do people depend more on their instincts, fancies, whims, and beliefs?

The answer is, very disappointingly, yes.

What may be other reasons other than the easy availability of knowledge resources? I think of these.

1. Knowledge is more about experience, and its effectiveness depends on shared practices. The isolated, lonely or aloof people can not gather knowledge to effect.

2. The exercise of mind is more important than access to knowledge. People do not exercise their minds to know as the pieces are easily available. One must understand that knowledge is an endeavour.

3. People survive without applying their minds within a working system. They should understand that exercise holds the system and its cessation causes decay. After a threshold, it is disastrous.
