Description

Some questions/dichotomies I'm thinking through around my news fast...

Am I burying my head in the sand or aiming my attention where my agency lies? Is it privileged selfishness to ignore the news or is it wise self care? Is news anxiety producing only because we don’t act on it and through organizing and action we reduce our anxiety, or is the fundamental business model of the news industry giving us a distorted sense of the nature of reality by taking advantage of our evolutionary predilection towards negative information?
