    "When information overload threatens the coherence of the structure of attention, the severe rationing of information in the interest of survival appears to be the only alternative to a demoralizing anomie,” and this leads, almost inevitably, to various kinds of fanaticism, since fanaticism radically clarifies experience. It leads to various “tyrannies of virtue.” The alternative is to be less virtuous in the sense of being more charitable and realistic about the messiness, the unaestheticness, of daily existence."
