modern information is a commodity just like fried twinkles or purple Nike trainers.
this year, CERN collected 5 femtobarns of data. that's 350 million million particle collisions and the reams of data that go along with them.
how much do you reckon 1 femtobarn costs to produce (measurably speaking)?
protip: it's a lot of grated Parmesan.
so, it's not a lack of thirst for knowledge. it's the monumental cost of worthwhile information gathering. all the cheap stuff's been done already.
also, what if I were to tell you that the satellite king is here NOW? what if I were to tell you that was me?? would you kiss my ring or attempt to assassinate me prior to my global ascension?????
