More sources of information means more confusion and less certainty for the
observer. Information equals the negative reciprocal of probability, I=-(1/P).
It's in the interest of the Oligarchy to induce the citizenry (thee and me) to
blank out, to overload, to change the channel... Oh look, there's a really
good fight going on in the Flyers-Leafs hockey game on ESPN...besides, who
wants to watch CNN all the time anyway? If you have one spokesman, even if
he's lying to you, you can focus on what he's saying and ask yourself, "Now
wait a minute--did that actually make *sense?" The Oligarchy wants us to be
confused. As John Brunner has one of his characters in *The Shockwave Runner*
exclaim, "Don't give me any more information! I've got more information now
than I can cope with, so shut up! Do you hear me? Shut up!"
