Can’t seem to find it just now—anyone got the link?
Simulacra already posted the Slate article, but I found it via this article that adds some interesting context connecting it to confirmation bias. That is, we’re driven to seek out more of the same information, not genuinely new information.
This actually gives me a fresh understanding of why information product buyers are generally repeat customers, and why I own so many books on basically the same topics. ;-)
