Your Brain Has Tricked You into Thinking Everything Is Worse
- chiefalchemist 3y agoWe are naturally wired to be threat-aware. It enabled the species to survive. That said, our current (media) environment knows this and loves pressing that button. Evidently, the media can't help itself either. It's wired to hoard (read: greed) and can't resist the cha-ching that follows the pressing of our collective buttons. I wonder if the NYT realizes the irony of it publishing articles such as this? As a side note, I recently read "The Comfort Crisis" by Michael Easter. He does of solid job of mapping traits that helped us survive that are now working against us.
