I read less political news than before, from maybe 5% of reading to 0%. Maybe 30% blogs 70% nonfiction books. No fiction. There has to be some personality type mediating these answers or something as they are clearly all over the place...

I think it's traits (especially need for control, both inbound and outbound) interacting with life circumstances. Age, life stage, parenthood, financial security/precarity, geographic location.

- No politics - Less tech news - More niche nonfiction (but less overall) - Hiding from the real world / looking for meaning again by disappearing into fiction + longform personal writing

How did you go about choosing fiction reads? I've deliberately stopped non-fiction this year because most of them are ted-talk-turned-book. And also I forgot the power of fiction! Any recommendations? Thanks!

For the first two years of the “weirding” I dramatically upticked my daily news as I thought I was being a responsible citizen staying informed. Didn’t last.

Same here. News intake went up after 2016, for the past year or two, I seek out very little (and it finds me anyways). I've seen several "extremely online" people make the same move.
