Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?

The news is primarily billionaire propaganda. It does not add value to your life. When it’s important you’ll hear about it, and then you can read up. You don’t have to be the first to know. Nothing bad will happen to you for being less informed.

Good news readers can help you get lots of the content you want with only a quick passing glance at the headlines so you can still carry a conversation/contemplate the inescapability of this planet

If somebody talks about world news or politics, I’d rather drop the conversation. Willful ignorance is about maintaining a good state of mind, and that includes not talking to some people about such topics.
