Summary

This quote suggests that in today's world, useless information is becoming increasingly scarce. The use of the term "sad" hints at the speaker's dismay, possibly implying a longing for the frivolous and irrelevant aspects of life. In an age dominated by quick access to practical knowledge and useful data, the absence or scarcity of useless information is viewed as a loss, as it represents a departure from the spontaneity, creativity, and curiosity that trivial information can ignite.

The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water.
