Whitman is saying that the true way to understand nature is not scientific but intuitive and mystical. The poet can feel and understand the processes of nature when he is experiencing them, but listening to people lecture about them merely makes him "tired and sick."

Answer:

What kind of information is the author talking about?

What does the word "commodity" mean?

What role does digital information play in society?

Explanation:

When reading a text, it is common for the reader to find sentences that make it difficult for him to understand the text and the subject conveyed by it. In this case, it is important that the reader asks questions about this sentence or about the text, to be able to demystify the sentence and understand the subject presented more effectively. An example of this can be seen in the text above, where the reader can ask the three questions selected above, to understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity." These questions are not only able to associate the term "information" as something of high value in our current society, but are also able to present how the internet was and continues to be an influencing factor in this system that causes the elevation of information as a commodity.
