Wisdom in the Age of Information & Meditation May 12, 2022
In the context of the Age of Information, Geshe Lhakdor start with quoting Shantideva, https://youtube.com/embed/dKN6OXlTOb8?start=300&end=338 - life is short.. so there are too many things to know.. Therefore take only those things that are necessary for you.

We should make our life simple. First understand yourself.. Dont run after information. Speak less.. We need to move from information & Knowledge to wisdom. Use your faculty of reasoning. Dont just "follow" others, the crowd. speak less

Then you apply your moral wisdom to the information.
