You Might Have Missed

I love this TED Talk. It’s a breezy reminder that, despite what our feeds tell us, the world is actually getting better in many meaningful ways. It also makes you question whether the news is really the best lens for understanding what’s happening out there.

A lot of us grew up with the news humming in the background: mornings, evenings, even right before bed (special wave to Sportsline). But here’s the tricky part: media companies are rewarded for outrage. The more shocked, annoyed, or fired up you are, the more likely you’ll keep clicking. And on social media? Anger practically has its own algorithmic VIP pass. Share, comment, react, rage is rocket fuel.


But here’s the good news: you don’t have to play along.
You don’t need to doom-scroll. You don’t need to watch the news every day. And if you do stumble across a negative headline?
Please, don’t share it.
Genuinely.
We can all slow this cycle down.
