Question: It is said that whoever controls information controls everything. But in recent years, with the advent of new technologies, information has not only become abundant; it has become excessively abundant! Managing it has become incredibly difficult. Psychologists argue that people are now experiencing information stress.

What is information? Why do we crave it so much? And why, even understanding that it’s “garbage,” are we afraid to lose it?

Answer: We feed on this “garbage,” these “wastes.” For us, losing this “waste” means losing our nourishment. And humanity is terrified of that.

It cannot absorb proper, truthful, natural information, information that speaks of relevance, necessity, or truth. It thrives on yellow, gray news, on airing “dirty laundry.” This is what sustains it.

This is how modern society has raised humanity up. And we can see the consequences. Of course, if you remove all this fake content and leave only the truth, people would howl. What would they consume then?

Question: Why is humanity so drawn to information? What is it looking for in information?

Answer: Modern humans cannot live without it. It is the environment in which they exist. Taking it away would be like separating them from home, family, work, or anything else. But separating them from information would be even more devastating because it fills them from within.

Without a flow of information, a modern person would simply lose their mind.

Question: What is “correct” information?

Answer: Correct information is that which reveals my role in this world to the extent that I can bring positive influence to it and, in turn, receive positive influence from the world.

Question: You say that correct, truthful, and genuine information would be completely unpalatable, undesirable?

Answer: People don’t want to hear the truth! Truth is painful. Truth is unpleasant. They want to hear what pleases them: a bit of gossip, a bit of sex, a bit of fear, a bit of joy, all in measured doses, carefully controlled by specialists.

Question: What does information mean to a Kabbalist?

Answer: For a Kabbalist, information means something entirely different. They are not interested in what people argue about via cables or other communication methods. They are interested in a connection with the upper force, from which all actions, conditions, and events in our world originate. When a person has this connection, they need nothing else. It allows them to be everywhere and in everything simultaneously, in both worlds.

Question: Suppose you were given control of all media outlets. How would you present information,  what kind?

Answer: I would leave everything as it is now and gradually, in small, controlled doses, introduce “medicine”—more correct information. Information that supports positive changes in a person, develops a sense of truth, self-control, and so on. This way, people would begin to adapt correctly to their surroundings, understand their nature, the nature of the world around them, and their ultimate purpose.

We, Kabbalists, are waiting for humanity to reach the revelation of evil—the revelation that it exists in evil, in lies, that it feeds on substitutes. To the extent that we realize this is all trash, literal poison, we will gradually be able to replace fake information with correct information that nurtures us.

Why do I need information? To form my understanding of the world and transform myself in alignment with a new world. This information should be correct, truthful, and, most importantly, caring.
