Yeah. As someone who has spent years doing both both — spending hours every day staying on-top of current events and related history in my teens, to ignoring all of it after graduating into my early 20’s, then back to paying attention again — it’s a double edged sword.
You waste so many hours of your life caring about this shit — time that could be spent on relationships, wealth, self-care, and leisure — but an uninformed and ignorant population is why the species and planet is in so much shit. Ignorance is only bliss if external forces don’t end up fucking your life.
