How we use data?
Lots of data don't mean better data and even the largest database doesn't help people to understand things. When we are thinking about the internet, there are lots of data waiting for the user. And then we are facing things, that the data does have any effect on us if we don't use it. The situation is similar to the libraries if people would not open or read the books, it does mean nothing, what is written in those papers.
If people would not open the book, the data that is between covers means nothing to them. And the same way the data that is stored on the internet means nothing tor people if they don't read that data. Even the best researchers and philosophers cannot do a thing if the data that they are produced or collected is not used, and of course, the thing, what we can use is the data, which we cannot understand.
Everybody can copy a couple of pages of the writings, which is written by some great philosopher. That thing can be made by using copy-paste command, and this would help to make impressive-looking things. But that kind of thing doesn't mean that person understands the things, what those great books or writings involve.
The thing is that deep knowledge of some things is also very important in many things in the world. If people don't realize, what they are doing, the results can be the most dangerous, what mankind has ever faced. One of the examples is drones. Some drones are equipped with surveillance cameras. and sold by a couple of tens of dollars.
That kind of drones are created for toys, but now the same drones, what have the surveillance cameras are equipped with weapons. So would that thing happen, if the creators or lawmakers would understand, what that kind of systems can do in the wrong hands? The answer could be that the thing would be similar, and the same drones would be sold at the same price. The deep knowledge doesn't always mean that things would be different.
Sometimes in history, deep knowledge brought people many things, what they don't want or even need. The deep knowledge brought civilized things in the minds of ancient Greeks, but then they realized that the marks of civilization like writing can be used to slaving other people. The ideology of the ancient Greeks was that they were only civilized people on this planet.
Others were some kind of dogs, and that is the thing, why civilization, what is one of the greatest things on this planet was also a very sad thing for people, who lived outside the borders of ancient Greece. Ancient Greece was not one single state. That nation had not the united government. It was multiple city-states, that had the right to make laws independently. There was always competition between those city-states.
They went also in the war against each other. And that thing could save many lives. So the difference between ancient Greeks and the Conquistadors was that the King of Spain had more people in the command. Greece was not a national state, but Spain was some kind of prototype of the national state, and the army of Spain was more powerful than the army of city-states. That gave the power to conquer entire America.
