That's your only engagement with that source of information, you know, is just from the headline. And that tells you everything you need to know.

um yeah that's an interesting question i i so one of the other things is that i don't like i don't have cable in my apartment and so i'm not you know i feel like when i'm at home with my parents they you know oftentimes will have like the nightly news on the morning news on just kind of like playing i don't have that because i don't have cable so i do

going back to the statistic that you mentioned earlier, I do get like 90% of my information from my phone, whether it's like Facebook news or Apple news, um, my friends and my family members are also oftentimes like sharing articles with each other. But I think the conversation around like how much to engage, like engaging with it is really interesting.

But I think the conversation around like how much to engage, like engaging with it is really interesting.

I remember I used to listen to a New York Times podcast every morning for like a year. And it was basically just 30 minutes every day of just like the highlights of what, you know, went on the day before or what's just like going on in the world. And I remember after a couple months, I was like, I have to stop listening to this. Like, it's actually getting to the point where it's like,

And I remember after a couple months, I was like, I have to stop listening to this. Like, it's actually getting to the point where it's like,

so much of our news is just like depressing. And it was just like starting off my day and kind of just like a dark way. And so I was like, I need to stop engaging with this. And it's hard because I want to be informed and I want to be engaged. But when a lot of the news is just like heavy and dark and difficult, it makes you want to do the opposite. So, you know, it takes time.

So, you know, it takes time.

a lot of effort and an active effort to engage with, I feel like any source of news, whether that's like watching the news on like cable TV, whether that's like reading, scrolling through articles on your phone, like so much of the news is just heavy and it's makes it really difficult to want to stay informed. Um,

a lot of effort and an active effort to engage with, I feel like any source of news, whether that's like watching the news on like cable TV, whether that's like reading, scrolling through articles on your phone, like so much of the news is just heavy and it's makes it really difficult to want to stay informed. Um,

Even if I'm seeking out sources of information that are within my comfort zone, it's still difficult. And then you add on the extra effort that it sometimes takes to, like you were saying earlier, Clarence, to potentially engage with a source of news that pushes you outside of your comfort zone. So it just takes a lot of effort.

So it just takes a lot of effort.

So I, you know, in a sense, I don't blame people for being like, you know what, then therefore I'm just not going to engage with news or information at all. But that's also problematic. So it's, you know, it's, it's, it's difficult. And I feel like that's constantly on my mind of like, there's a balance between engaging an appropriate amount where it doesn't stress me out.
