1/ One of bet bits of life advice I ever got was from Heinlein via, I think, "The Door Into Summer". Guy goes into cryosleep for a century wakes up, skims a history book for a few hours, gets up to speed, marvels about how much time he'd've wasted reading the paper every day.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1154379846673412096 …

6/ Go plan a tasty dinner, and make a shopping list. Step outside and weed your garden. Concentrate on your work and make progress in your career. Chat with a friend, because it's fun, for both of you. Do NOT pay attention to poll numbers of a bunch of weirdos.

9/ I mostly try not to discuss object-level events and news, and use object-level facts only to illustrate meta-level / patterns / concepts. "Bernie might win!!!" is terrible. "Late state capitalist societies have a tendency to ..." is interesting.https://twitter.com/BoredGreyface/status/1154410568192864257 …

Yup. I was listening to talk radio for 6+ hours a day – Rush/Sean/Levin, etc. One day soon after the 2012 election, I decided it was stupid because what I do has far more effect on where I will be in 10 years than anything happening in DC. I’ve hardly listened or cared since.

Smarter man than me. I started paying attention during Trumps rise and I find it so entertaining I cant stop myself. Shit is better than Netflix.pic.twitter.com/KwgpGoMaFi

Agreed. Rona is the first thing in a long time I can remember where it really mattered a little to be informed abt it because it affected personal behaviour.

Unfortunately it’s not an easy problem to say in advance which things will be worth following, but elections are an obvious attention shredder to avoid
