Of course, we humans could regress to the Bronze Age or the Stone Age, but there is no successor to the Information Age. The Stone Age was succeeded by the Bronze Age because you can do many things with bronze which you cannot do with stone. The Jet Age was succeeded by the Space Age because we learned how to use jet propulsion to take us not only through the atmosphere, but outside it. There is no successor to information, because it is the ultimate commodity. Stone tools, bronze tools, jets, and spaceships are all about solving certain specific problems.
Information is about solving any kind of problem or answering any question.
By now you know that the best way to seek and describe information is with Canonical Thought and canonical forms. In contrast, second principles obey rules which are invented instead of discovered. First principles obey the rules of ordinary physical reality and second principles obey the rules of dreams. In first principles, reasoning is strictly linear. Paul is a Christian.
