INFORMATION ASYMMETRY ON THE GLOBAL GAMEFIELD

“In war, truth is the first casualty.”

– Aeschylus

Are we all equally disadvantaged through censorship? No. Certain countries lack access to information more than others. The global game field is not equal. There are those who have all the information and those who only have some shown to them.

In today's interconnected world, the availability and access to information play a crucial role in shaping the global landscape. However, the presence of censorship and information asymmetry among countries has significant implications for the intelligence, awareness, and opportunities available to individuals. Varying levels of information availability can create an uneven playing field and impact decision-making on the global stage.

Do you know that if you live in Canada you cannot see Canadian news on social media platforms? WHAT? Yes, read that again. Canadians can't even access the news about their own country on social media platforms.

Information asymmetry refers to a situation where one party has access to more or superior information compared to another party. In the context of the global game field, this means that certain countries may have greater control over the flow of information, leading to disparities in knowledge and awareness among nations, leading to unequal intelligence.

When some countries possess information others do not, it creates a disparity in intelligence and overstanding. This imbalance can influence decision-making processes, giving an advantage to those with more information to base their moves on.

Censorship and restricted access to information can hinder individuals' awareness of global events, trends, and developments. Lack of knowledge about important issues can limit your ability to make informed decisions and participate effectively in the global game field.

Information asymmetry can also stifle the expansion of thought and the exchange of ideas. When certain countries restrict access to diverse perspectives, alternative viewpoints, and critical information, it hampers intellectual growth and narrows the scope of possibilities for individuals within those regions.

Information asymmetry challenges the notion of equality in intelligence and opportunities. As the disparity in available information grows, there can emerge a divide between those who have access to vital knowledge and those who are deprived of it. This raises questions about fairness and equal opportunities for individuals and countries to participate and thrive in the global game field.

Information asymmetry poses significant challenges to the notion of a level playing field in the global gamefield. The varying degrees of censorship and restricted access to information among countries can lead to disparities in intelligence, awareness, and opportunities. We do not all get the same information, and if knowledge is power, some have a lot more than others.
