Reading the news is the new smoking (opens in new tab)

So the counterpoint to this is that we are collectively getting more news and more updates than ever before and we’re still in the situation of today.I can’t argue with your premise because I agree, but the empirical data shows that if anything there is a positive correlation between accessibility of information and further descent into… whatever it is you’d describe is our modern situation.It may not be causative but it’s also not really a sufficient counteracting force.
