A quote honoring Pittsburgh and its "son" Herbert Simon, who also said (in 1971!): What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention. Actually I desperately need his biography, he seems to be a crucial proponent with the study of human decision-making, behavioral economics and AI.
Best lecture I saw today.
