I only feel such overload if I don't pause to reflect and merely keep taking stuff in. [[Information overload 20040327145709]] [[Info overload of overvloed verschil is surprisal 20220810090704]] Information value is not determined by the sender but by the receiver. If I don't pause the firehose just isn't information. It takes me as an observer to collapse noise into information in one's personal reality.

Igor mentions he coined 'Denial of Future Attack' in 2016, intentionally swamping people w info, so their ability to choose / decide is eroded.

A DoFA is swamping someone/a process with so much information (fake, true or whatever) so that it stalls proper decision making. DoFA targets people's agency by hobbling information processing and thus obstructing decision making. Misinfo/desinfo campaigns then are a form of DDoF. Examples given also suggest a DoFA may succeed if there is only a hint of misinfo/fakery, making all information suspect. Vgl [[Reverse Turing menszijn bewijs vaker nodig 20230505100459]]
