DISTRIMATION:
Distrimation is a word blended from two other words, distribution and information. Officially, it’s short for the “The Distribution of Information”. There was a notorious spy, Clyde Lee Conrad*, that believed the most valuable commodity is “information”. He makes a good point and if he’s even remotely close we need to be aware of who distributes this important commodity. If information is distributed by an organization with any kind of bias we should be suspicious of the source and especially suspicious of the data.
*Cylde Lee Conrad was found guilty of selling highly confidential NAT military information and was given a life sentence in a German prison where he died in 1998.
