Relevance vs. Irrelevance

In a world swarming with information, the clash between relevance and irrelevance has grown increasingly prevalent. Surprisingly, the harm doesn't primarily stem from glaring errors or misconceptions. Instead, it is rooted in the proliferation of facts that, although accurate, are irrelevant or mismatched to their context. Such information, out of place and misaligned, may not only obscure the truth but also exacerbate confusion and misunderstanding.
Take, for instance, the domains of politics, social life, and personal interactions. In the realm of politics, a politician might bombard the electorate with a wealth of data and statistics that, while true, do not contribute to the issue at hand. This diverts the public's attention away from pressing concerns, resulting in uninformed decisions and unproductive debates. Meanwhile, in our social lives, the over-sharing of irrelevant information can foster disconnect instead of forming connections. Imagine a conversation where one party relentlessly shares their knowledge about a topic unrelated to the conversation's theme. It breeds disengagement rather than stimulating meaningful dialogue. Similarly, in personal relationships, when discussions are drowned in the sea of irrelevant details, they can easily veer off course, failing to address the heart of the matter.
When the deliberate substitution of the relevant for the irrelevant occurs, it's a troubling scenario. The effects are typically harmful, but they're merely a fraction of the bigger problem. This tactic is frequently employed by fraudsters, unethical politicians, and false prophets, creating an alarming backdrop for modern society.
