Maybe Aaron doesn't get it. Maybe you don't get it. The question boils down to this. If information doesn't promote action, what good was the information? > It's the same logic young people use to justify not voting And why should they? Has the outcome of an election ever come down to one vote? The pattern is simple. The news let's us focus on what we can't control so we can ignore what we can control. How many fat voters want free health care? How many of them sit down to watch the news instead of exercising? How many voters want more money but won't invest time learning a skill? How many voters want better education but won't log on to (MOOC-du-jour) How many voters want world peace but won't change their consumption habits? How many voters want cleaner energy but won't buy an electric car? I'm with Aaron on this one. Keeping up with the news doesn't make you more "woke". It means you've wasted time that could have been invested in direct action of the outcome you want.
