Nigg's Hypothesis

Nigg's Hypothesis proposes that individuals often fail to engage in well-informed decision-making due to the overwhelming complexity of knowledge surrounding us. This complexity can lead to what is known as "information overload," where the sheer volume of data makes it difficult to process and discern important information. In essence, it suggests that despite having access to vast amounts of information, many people struggle to make sound choices because they cannot effectively analyze or apply that knowledge in practical situations.
