Agree on the idea of 'infomania' that overtakes us at certain times. But everything requires balance; read too much and you spend too little time thinking and building a base of experience doing. Not a great way to get knowledge OR wisdom. To understand things you have spending time cultivating your own understanding, and that involves writing and doing.

The biggest issue with leaning into just in time reading is you absolutely miss out on knowing whether to pay attention to something.
