And that&#8217;s what it was intended to do, subconsciously or not; to belittle you, to make you feel beneath the now outraged person, and for you to realise that on some level they are a better person than you because they are more informed about the\u00a0matter at hand. In an attempt to avoid a repeat blushing in future interactions, you&#8217;ll then spend time getting up to date on whatever the trivial matter is. But\u00a0let&#8217;s be honest, most of the time, from where you&#8217;re standing &#8211; it is trivial, and it isn&#8217;t fundamental to your own path.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOne of the most powerful things you can do as a human being in our hyperconnected, 24\/7 media world is say: \u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2019 Or, more provocatively: \u2018I don\u2019t care.\u2019 Most of society seems to have taken it as a commandment that one must know about every single current event, watch every episode of every critically acclaimed television series, follow the news religiously, and present themselves to others as an informed and worldly individual.<\/p>\n<p>But where is the evidence that this is actually necessary? Is the obligation enforced by the police? Or is it that you\u2019re afraid of seeming silly at a dinner party? Yes, you owe it to your country and your family to know generally about events that may directly affect them, but that\u2019s about all.<\/p>\n<p>How much more time, energy, and pure brainpower would you have available if you drastically cut your media consumption? How much more rested and present would you feel if you were no longer excited and outraged by every scandal, breaking story, and potential crisis (many of which never come to pass anyway)?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013 Ryan Holiday\u00a0&amp; Stephen Hanselman<br \/>\n<\/strong>from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0735211736\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0735211736&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mapsofthemind-20&amp;linkId=0a359e634b83cb195a55b92892f3eb34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Daily Stoic<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=mapsofthemind-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0735211736\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>P.S.<\/strong> Love this book, but more on that another time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the bigger picture for a minute: <strong>our time on earth is limited.<\/strong> How do you want to use\u00a0<em>your<\/em> time?

Travel the world? Read the Greek classics? Become the best athlete that you can be? By constantly keeping up with mainstream media and culture, you&#8217;re continually spending <strong>precious time<\/strong> that could be used\u00a0pursuing those goals, or doing and learning about things that you enjoy and\u00a0<em>really<\/em> interest you; things that will lead to a more deeply gratifying life. (Or even just taking more time out for yourself to chill and recharge).<\/p>\n<h2>Fuck The News<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>\u201cTo a philosopher all news is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Henry David Thoreau<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Think again before feeling guilty for not keeping up with current events.

Is the information you are receiving nourishing you, making you feel more positive about your life and the world you live in? Or is it going to leave a bad taste in your mouth for the rest of your day, or even your week?\u00a0Media has a significant effect on our\u00a0mental and emotional health, so be mindful of what you consume.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuck Society<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2013 Jiddu Krishnamurti<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Are you carving out a life that you yourself want to live? Or are you being pressured into doing what society expects you to do? A model citizen trapped in the circus of mainstream culture and media due to some unexamined fear of not being accepted by others and society? The very same society that has led us to the point where the world&#8217;s 8 richest people have as much wealth as the poorest\u00a03.5 billion? Where there&#8217;s a perpetual state of war? Where there are enough resources to shelter, clothe and feed everyone, yet half the world live in poverty? Where almost everyone knows that world leaders and politicians are crooks and the foundations of\u00a0society are riddled with corruption? A consumer culture that tries to convince us that more money and things will eventually lead to happiness? Do you really want to be accepted by a society like this?
