For me, watching/reading/listening to the news is a double-edged sword. I like to keep current on what's happening in the world, but at the same time, would rather not. Everything is so depressing and very rarely is there any "good" news. Too much "fear mongering".
My dad says fear is a choice. Is fear a choice? I’ve yet to make up my mind on this.
Maybe I f we get a new wearable in a couple of years that allows us to control our hippocampus and amygdala. But then again I suppose that would set the whole world on fire. 🤔😅 That’d be a book I’d read!
Imagining a world potentially without fear is incredible - what would people do? And what if we had the choice to remove fear from our brains, but chose not to, making your dad’s dilemma even more poignant? Yeah this does need to be a book, doesn’t it?

If it bleeds, it leads.
Exactly!!
This reminded me of Bukowski‘s
“ the angry, the empty, the lonely, the tricked
we are all museums of fear.”

That Bukowski quote resonates with me for sure.

I know this isn't the point of the post but the idea of a newspaper designed deliberately for a child is blowing my mind.
That's such a cool idea.
It is cool, isn’t it? Especially in “this day and age.”
It honestly makes me want to start the same thing here.
You should! Does it not exist at all in America?
If it does, I ain't never heard about it!
Well shoot, let’s make it happen.
