Photograph of the Atlas globe Should You Read the News? Monday – July 20, 2026 H ysteria and fear are, of course, topics that I have written about in the past , but if there is something above all else in the modern world that encourages hysteria, fear, and anxiety , it must be the news cycle , filled with all sorts of irrelevant and nonsensical information, read " Navigating the Informational Landscape ". Really, what most news source are is really nothing but a filter that effectively filters out information that may or may not be of some value and only leaves you with nonsensical information that is meant to "trigger" you, because of course, modern people are very easily triggered, read " Sentimentalism ", and all the noise eventually becomes so much that most people become completely emotionally blunted on the outside and very easily controlled and manipulated by the same and recurring themes, and this has now reached the point where most people are...
