Its a complex problem cause -

1. Info is exploding while the time you have available per day to consume info is finite. This time can be divided between Info that has short term value, long term value, no value (ie entertainment).

2. Since info is exploding, a gap grows every day between supply and demand. If you run an automated process every day it can easily overwhelm, what your actual need in the 3 categories cuz it will easily generate more content than you have time.

3. Complicating everything further is People's Needs constantly change with time. In all 3 categories.

You're a philosopher!

Perhaps it would be simpler to automate the filtering of information in just one specific direction, as I truly can't figure out how to efficiently handle all the streams of information I'm interested in.

a complex problem yes, unsolvable no.

Exactly the fact that info is exploding justifies a search for a solution. A solution as suggested by TS. And maybe this could be solved with the help of ai.
