What we learned this week:
1) 'breaking news' is often ideologically-biased 'fake news'
2) there's little point in tracking 'news' day to day
3) just read about it at the end of the week in @TheEconomist and @reason, after the misguided hot takes have cancelled out
-
If I recall correctly, that was the general approach for consuming the world news by the inhabitants of Shangri-La from James Hilton’s Lost Horizon book; only the latency was extended to years and even decades.
There's a similar theme in 'Anathem' by @nealstephenson
