Hell yeah. Likewise to you.
I think as long as we 1) stay skeptical in our understanding of all systems whilst putting in effort at understanding those systems better and 2) act in accordance with our values in the political process, then we will be doing the good that we thought we would be doing if we constantly consumed news media and designed those beliefs/actions according to that influence. Except we're less influenced by that particular force and less demotivated by anxiety and dread.
The big stuff we're probably gonna hear about anyway. I learned that Trump got shot within two hours.
This is the way I do it. I still hear about everything, I just don’t need to seek it out. And I still feel very informed enough to vote.
