I am beginning to unfollow accounts that hit too close to home, not because they offend me but because they bind emotional energy and distort my perception of the world by focusing my attention on individual despicability that I cannot change.

Replying to @Plinz
You mean your own emotions are making you biased ? I notice this within myself as well. And don’t like it either. It sucks me into a view based on an existing pattern in my brain.

It seems like you hold an impossible value for being truly unbiased. In my opinion being fully unbiased leads to ineffectual paralysis as you collect more information to mitigate more biases. Avoiding things that don’t serve your goals as Joscha is doing here is super useful

You are right. It causes a lot of anxiety bc I feel I’m always wrong in one way or another.

I should listen to my gut feeling when it comes to morals . And stay focused on my personal interests more, I feel a lot more at peace. But again with everything that’s going on in the world I also feel guilty bc I’m privileged. I can ignore it all bc I’m not in a war zone.

I don't think that 'privilege' is helpful to analyze your personal predicament. Also, you cannot trust your instincts, because they are obviously different from the instincts of most humans. Your moral intuitions are important, but you have to prove their correctness as well.

You may notice that you also cannot trust the instincts of most humans, because they are capable of horrible acts when they are acting in groups. That's because the instincts of normies tell them to synch their morality with their group, and yours don't.

We deal with the complex system internally, within us. We also have a complex system to deal with externally. Life is but fun, and fun, on repeat mode
