In so far as we consume information from the mass media, we are all situated somewhere along each of these continua. Our dilemma, both personally and socially, is the tendency to move to either set of extremes. Not the half-truths of someone's propaganda. Their side may not be false, but it isn't the whole story either. At the other extreme of relevance however, is the trivia of details, through which we don't see the forest for the trees.
Relevance is the prioritized delimitation of the domain of interest.
We need to pick our priorities, define our information needs, and avoid misinformation or minutiae. By staying alert to the continuous feedback from the environment. There is no hidden secret or encompassing meaning to life beyond what we bring to it or make of it. Corrigible theories of the middle range, are the only ones appropriate to a changing world and life-long learning. The media, the public, and celebrities reinforce each other's foolishness , and that's a vicious circle that is hard to break out of.
