You're making a lot of incorrect assumptions about my worldview, and I don't appreciate it.
No matter how grounded one's perspective is, each person has a finite amount of emotional energy to spend at a given time. This is a universal truth. Articles like this one can trash one's energy reserves - causing distress - without introducing any meaningful new information or perspective whatsoever. It's simply a bad cost/benefit ratio. I didn't learn any new hard truths by reading it, and I don't need your assistance to consider all of the bad things in the world, thank you very much. What I have trouble with is ceasing to do that even for a brief moment.
Don't preach at someone you don't have the faintest understanding of.
- disabled 6y agoYeah, there absolutely should be a content warning on this article. It is the right thing to do. However, social media plays similar, more damaging and more insidious psychological tricks. Big data makes it more personalized and damaging. I think many have become desensitized to the harms micro targeting on our hopes and fears has done, via social media in particular. Hence, the lack of concern and sensitivity for the need of a content warning.
