> I see a number of comments celebrating the choice to live in a bubble uninformed and blissfully unaware of local and global events. I'm pretty sure my being aware of local and global events, plus voting, plus demonstrating, plus organizing, plus god knows how much time arguing politics on the Internet has done... pretty much nothing at all. I've quit all of it (except the arguing on the Internet part, naturally). Almost none of the news is important, because it's not effectively actionable (for most people). It's fine if you like the news as entertainment. It's not fine to look down on people for not liking the entertainment you do. As for ignorance, if you want to be an informed voter/activist/whatever then very little of your information diet should be news. Most of it should be books.
