I have no fucking clue what’s in the news. I’m busy. I have stuff to do to build something bigger than myself. I don’t have time to read about dramas unfolding or the next big fad.
People become obsessed with what’s going on in the media so they don’t have to think for themselves. Yes, it’s scary that people can be so blind to the reality of the world but that doesn’t mean we have to listen to them.
The less creedance we give to media, the less it becomes a focal point of society. And, the less it makes money. Improving your own life should be the only outcome you’re looking for.
If following the news makes your life better then go for it. For me, it’s a terrible piece of banter distracting me from my true objectives. I ignore what’s going on and get stuff done.
