You can read the info just b4 voting instead of submerging in all the madness all year.
It's also funny how you've written 'unable to engage with peers on anything except history'. Like, do you speak with your peers only abt news and history? When we gather with friends we discuss many personal things too, and some news too, but not bc we follow them, but bc news were so big that these got to us through another channels indirectly.
Being aware with local situation is strange too. Except from some big things that directly impact me, why I should be aware about the things in the city? Most of the time it's just irrelevant except some strikes of the public service workers or some festivals?
There are ways to read news by using an rss+ some llm combo to filter out irrelevant things but it's too cumbersome
- ggm 3y agoA Priori, how can you know something (may) impact you, if you are unware of it until it impacts? Did you not wish the opportunity to avoid it? to engage in it? "I didn't know the Stones were playing that gig" is big in this. If the stones decided to play the gig 24h ago, and you're in the city, the FOMO may be worse than the other choice. Look I'm not dying on the hill on this. I think some amount of engagement is wise, beneficial. Too much is definitely bad.
