😏 Yt L. Reading the news often makes me frustrated and angry, and I really can't do anything about what the news is reporting on. Considering giving it up entirely and purposefully avoiding the news.

👉 Oscar That's a great article, thanks for sharing! The key point is this: "With the time people waste reading a newspaper every day, they could have read an entire book about most subjects covered and thereby learned about it with far more detail and far more impact than the daily doses they get dribbled out by the paper. But people, of course, wouldn't read a book about most subjects covered in the paper, because most of them are simply irrelevant."

👾 Marty Thanks for the share

🗿 Simohamed One must read the lengthy rebuttal in the comments as well.

💻 Kernel Thank you for sharing, I'm really surprised by the quality of the comments. A lot of them shine a light on the other side of the argument and I can really appreciate that.

🧬 Thomas Nice, thanks sharing this

🍃 Matt Harwood Love this, thanks for sharing...

😏 Yt L. It's a good essay, and I very much enjoy and agree with his point about the news being a "closed loop" that doesn't really require my involvement. Thanks for sharing.
