i'm reducing my daily news consumption with the goal of zero. i know that it's going to be bad, and if it directly impacts me, then a) i'll find out soon enough; and b) the probability i can do a damn thing about it is basically 0 anyway
Yep. My 2025 resolution is to be as uninformed as I can possibly be. My mental health can't handle it and I stress out and obsess over things that I can't fix.
15 years of being informed did fuck all for me. I'll go vote when it's time (where I will do a minimum of research on my vote), but otherwise my goal is to entirely ignore all politics and political figures for at least the entire year, but hopefully longer than that.
If there ever comes a time where I can actually make a difference, I'm sure it'll be obvious and widely spread. All the outrage, pointless and ineffective protests and 'awareness' campaigns were utterly worthless. The last 10 times I called my local rep they laughed at me for being from the opposite party and told me to go pound sand.
I do not have the capacity, competency or mindset to run for politics myself, so as far as I'm concerned there's nothing of value added by being informed and involved.
Once a week sounds like a reasonable plan. Can't have it constantly.
