Follow curators with demonstrated track records rather than
Follow curators with demonstrated track records rather than consuming primary sources at scale, because effective curators compress signal-to-noise ratios across entire domains through pre-filtering.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from information-attention inverse relationship (Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a) and calibration requiring domain-specific feedback (Domain-Specific Calibration Development). The principle prescribes leveraging others' filtering as a force multiplier. It's actionable (identify 3-5 trusted curators), scalable, and distinct from the axioms—it's about leveraging social structure for information filtering.
