Yeah I can see how the added stress of giving a fuck about stuff well beyond any human's control will eventually cause health problems. These news products especially seem to offer humanity a sense of powerlessness disguised as knowledge. Pick up an interesting book and one usually comes out of that with more than they entered with. This news cycle shit just has folks chasing their tails.
It does feel good to not give a fuck. One can write their own story and it's usually a hundred times better than that shit smeared on a screen people are expected to consume. Solve the world problems, by shutting them off.
