In order to differentiate useful information from irrelevant or misleading data, one needs a combination of scientific expertise and a thorough understanding of oneself. Scientific knowledge equips individuals with the necessary tools to analyze and evaluate information critically, while self-knowledge helps individuals identify their own biases, preconceptions, and limitations that may influence their judgment. By having an awareness of both the objective facts and subjective factors that can impact perception, one can effectively sift through the noise and extract valuable insights.
