If you’ve ever played the game of telephone then you’ll be familiar with the example of words in the list changing as they are shared from one person to another. Telephone is a fun game and can be quite entertaining in a game context.

But what happens when reality mimics the game?

Whenever you hear or read any information you rarely know how many people the information has been filtered through before it reaches you. You’ll have no idea how many biases or agendas have been sprinkled in and added to the information, either intentionally or unintentionally.

As you make decisions based on information you ingest, try to always keep in mind that rarely will you have access to firsthand information. The bigger the decision you have to make, the harder you should work at getting the most accurate information as possible.

For the most part, consider the majority of information you receive as entertainment or even rumors. It’s not produced to educate you but to keep you coming back for more. And be careful who you share it with because as accurate as you’ll try to be, you’ll just be one more person in a long game of telephone.

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it please share it with one person you love.
