This is an area of thought that I am interested in learning more about. Humans globalized too quickly - we are not evolving quickly enough to meet the new demand it has put on our mental wellbeing. Our tribes used to be small, and they slowly grew and grew. Now the tribe is essentially the size of the world - if you permit that firehose of that data to your mind. I do think it is healthy to turn that off. It's a slippery slope though - I want to know about atrocities happening on the other side of the world. I don't care that some province in Canada has reinstated an indoor mask mandate.

You are hitting on exactly the issue here though and think it’s extremely healthy to tell a person who feels overwhelmed and besieged by the news cycle to take a break from a 100% optional activity.
