I have chosen to completely ignore all news about the US/China trade war(?) to test the hypothesis that actually I don’t need to care
Kinda hoping that eventually I’ll disregard current affairs entirely and only develop opinions on things with a 3-month lag

“Visa did you read about the Dutch euthanasia thing,”
Nope. I’ll read about it next month maybe if anybody’s still talking about it then

I was thinking about this this morning since somebody retweeted it, and I'm positive the function of all this opinion-mongering is purely sociological.
There isn't much of a personal dimension to it, because it isn't even meant to be personal at all.

yeah it's a whole crowd people following a crowd following a shadow on the wall
it's fine if it's what you want, but I don't think many people choose this in an intentional way
I think we can lead more interesting and exciting lives by being intentional about this

For sure. My own trait package is such that I have intense distrust of people in groups.
I often spend far too much energy divesting from unwanted connections, making me seem more introverted than I am.
This is almost purely about not wanting to be swept along too easily.
