How much should I care about news? - eviltoast
News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier

News is bad for you. It leads to fear and aggression. It hinders your creativity and makes you sick. We should stop consuming it, says Rolf Dobelli, who's abstained for years

I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don’t change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can’t think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

    My wife put it to me well.

    On the off chance that the world doesn’t end this week, let’s go ahead and keep living our lives

    It was a joke but it stuck with me. Yeah it could all end. History says it won’t though. There are some real threats out there, but for my own measley self I should keep planning on tomorrow
