Question for you all. If we frame the myth problem from a Shannon information point of view where a myth is a form of entropy (e.g. let's say a falsehood is disorder), how much energy would be required to reduce the entropy of the system?

Myths may simply be the knowledge "noise floor" of a world given the rate of new information generation and humanity's limited abilities to make sense of it.
