One year news free, never going back again...

[Mister Obvious]

A little over a year ago, I stopped reading the news.

I may see an article here and there, I may hear about some random news from YouTubers I'm subscribed to... but in general, my news consumption is down about 90%.

I spent about 2/3 of my life obsessing on global news and current events all day, every day (no exaggeration whatsoever)...

After kicking the news addiction, I can see the whole forest instead of being lost in the trees.

In 2014, I said that if the ebola scare turned out to be bullshit, I would begin to distance myself from the people who fell for it, and I would remove those influences from my life. (It was. I did.)

In 2020, I said that if the CV situation turned out to be an ulterior motive laden pack of lies, I would stop reading the news for good. (It was. I did.)

They use the news to control people, they use it to scare people, they use it to sell products, they use it to conduct mass psychological experiments.

I am glad that I am no longer taking part in the constant attention diversion that is global news.

I do still have some news sources that are related to people I watch on YouTube... I'd rather get a summary of the bullshit from a trusted few a couple times per week than spend all my time researching, obsessing and wading through a sea of fucking lunatics trying to figure out what's going on.

There's almost no benefit to keeping up with current events after a certain point.

If you want to put in a few solid, totally obsessed decades just to figure out it's all a web of manipulation, go ahead... but if you can find a quicker way to reach that conclusion, DEFINITIVELY, to the point where you no longer have any doubt? Do that instead.

It is absolutely an addiction... like any other.

The fear, the anticipation, the sense of being "in the know" and oh sooooo informed like you're waving around your big ol' doom junkie dick in some kind of competition... it all boils down to chemicals in the brain, end of story.
