During the last ‘election summer’ things went haywire but ultimately nothing meaningful really happened, and not a whole lot really changed as a result of that unrest. This time things are going haywire again, and it seems like something big will happen but people thought that the last time… Would it just be better to ignore everything and go work on yourself, your skills, etc. or consume whatever thing is going on? The constant fear that’s being pushed is so emotionally exhausting… I’m finding it harder to care about these things without anything major happening, as shitty as that sounds

    Try to stay informed, but also recognize that news is all going to be bad because humans engage with that more.

    Learn to recognize when youve had enough bad news and then disengage and find something else to do.

      Obligatory Wendover video, he’s better than that HAI guy.

      It’s worth the 18mins of your time, even if it’s just to identify that nobody’s immune to advertising or propaganda, and what the negativity bias is.
