Or, curation can have long term consequences.

I read about this first in Yuval Noah Harrari’s Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI.

The Bible is not one book, but rather a collection of different texts that were canonised over many years.

A committee did this task. The things they decided to add - like how women are somehow inferior and have little rights compared to men - took a lot of time to roll back and fight against in the modern world.

Curation is important. I am thinking about this of course in terms of what I write here. I wrote earlier about writing more and the things I write on my blog. I keep going back to the value that micro posts bring, if any.

I know I don’t need to justify what I write about.

Curation is important though. Especially in this age. And even more so going forward. There is a list of blogs, newsletters and news sites I follow via RSS. What I share after reading things there is my curation.

You may decide to follow me based on that, because you value my taste and curation.
