You know what’s never helped me feel better about something? Consuming more media.
- jhbadger 3y agoReading a book (which I guess you call "consuming media" as if it were a sort of snack) has made me feel better on numerous occasions.
- abirch 3y agoI consider Hacker News as consuming media. Occasionally there's some heartburn, but usually it's very nutrient dense.
- elbrian 3y agoYou’ve never found comfort in a show, movie, book or video game? That’s actually really sad.
- JetSpiegel 3y agoThere was a HN poster way back then claiming to have never read a novel in their lives. I totally believe an art-free existence is possible.
- nickthegreek 3y agoC’Mon. Are you stating no song has moved you? That is straight up unbelievable.
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoI actually find the opposite. New perspectives make me feel better about humanity. The 'worrisome' aspect of The Electric State (or any future dystopia) is it's parallel to a direction humanity could take. However, the fact that someone has taken the time to be aware of it and create a piece of art that's essentially a warning against it, means that, I think, we're better prepared against it becoming true. The author/artist is an ally.
