Infobulimia - The knowledge disorder, made more rampant in large part by the internet, whereby people gorge themselves on information, regurgitate it to anyone in their vicinity, yet never let it actually nourish or develop them in any significant mental, emotional, or spiritual way. At one time this would have been socially unacceptable and seen as a shallow approach to life yet at present it seems to be highly regarded, with "infobulimics" perceived as people who are "in the know". This is the condition referred to by Mark Twain when he said, "You may have noticed that the less I know about a subject the more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it." (A Bibliography of Mark Twain, Johnson, 1935)
