> Those are the most interesting. If you keep yourself focused on community news -- which are both relevant and at the same time the most inane -- you stay parochial, which is ok if you don't mind it, but I do. I find the world and world news interesting and relevant. My immediate community is not that interesting.
As someone who deals with anxiety, I don't find world news interesting and relevant. I find it panic and anxiety inducing, and it's rarely ever actionable. Local news is generally much more useful and actionable for my daily life.
I still find it important to stay informed of general world events, but I just can't mentally follow it on a daily or even weekly basis anymore.
- the_af 6y agoThat's ok. What you say makes sense. Note I did mention "actionable" doesn't factor into what I consider interesting. I find the world interesting, I guess. What I find annoying are blanket statements like "don't follow the news". Says who? Who is this guy to tell me what is reasonable to consider interesting, and whether following world news is something I do "to worry"?
