>being ignorant of the larger world is a totally reasonable and healthy position to take.
Reasonable yes, healthy I'd debate. More importantly, if you prefer to have something of focus it would local politics, your mayor and representatives. It is often said that what happens here is more impactful on your life than what happens in national or international news. You can participate whether a new library or infrastructure is built, zoning laws, etc.
You won't see this anyway on your newsfeed so it might suit you.
- silenced_trope 3y agoI imagine it is healthy. I think of my mom and brother for instance, versus my dad and other brother - my dad and other brother are blissfully ignorant. My mom and younger brother get worked up over things they see in the news daily that don't affect them at all. I'd wager that stress, depression, and anxiety levels are all higher for people like my mom and younger brother than for the former.
