- TheAceOfHearts 3y agoI like David Pakman but feel like this type of political content needs to be consumed in far greater moderation and not on a daily basis. People that cover politics tend to hijack your brain with a lot of inconsequential events and information. A good metric for me is probably something like: is this going to be important or relevant in a few weeks? David Pakman had a podcast episode with Lex Fridman and even he recommends that you treat him as a small part of your media diet.
- slipperlobster 3y agoAbsolutely agreed (and I do follow that advice). I throw this stuff on in the car when I'm dropping off the kid at school. Still good to know what's going on day-to-day, albeit a bit more micro-level than not.
