  1. Gowwd… this so resonated with me. Like a cathedral bell inside my head, banging me into some awakened state. It’s slowly dawning on me that it’s time for another change in the way I live my life. Here I was thinking, I got this. I know what’s going on and I’m prepared for it. I have skills enough to recognise what it’s doing to me. Well, let me tell you. No matter how prepared and skilled you think you are, you can be fooled given enough time. As an unlikable army intelligence instructor I once had to endure was fond of saying: ‘The system, given enough time and resources, will always break you.’ And it’s hard these days to recognised, among all of those we’re subjected to, which system is brainwashing because there’s so much noise generated around it.

    “Thinking and writing have become harder. It’s as if the neurons in my brain don’t connect with each other in quite the same way. I go to check a fact and get instantly diverted by a hundred other distractions on my phone. I find myself unable to devote time to thinking and writing like I used to.” (Source: theguardian.com/media/ng-inter )

    Oh, and that Intelligence Instructor… the British officer? I guess he’d be long gone by now. He seemed unhealthy to me at the time, both in body and mind.

  12. We can stay closely informed and still find that the overall picture does not quite come together.

    Events, reactions, interpretations, corrections - all appearing together, without the structure that once made them easier to grasp.

    This piece looks at that shift directly: at what has changed in the space between access and understanding.

  17. In this era of information overload, censorship works by drowning us in too much undifferentiated information, crippling our ability to focus. These dumps, combined with the news media's obsession with campaign trivia and gossip, have resulted in whistle-drowning, rather than whistle-blowing: In a sea of so many whistles blowing so loud, we cannot hear a single one.

  22. Finding the ‘will’ to step away from the onslought of information (not to say doom scrolling or subjugation to msm propaganda) and coming back to everyday tasks seems to be the way out of the psychological hell. Where to find that ‘will’ if anger and grief is botteld up without an outlet?

    This article may help find a way. In the end, it is all about making a decision (truly making a decision, not a wish). It’s a fine line between staying sane and balanced, keeping informed and switching off from anything but the immediacy of homelife.

  31. Look away?

    How do you cope with what’s in the news every day?

    I’m constantly torn between looking away and trying to understand more about what’s really happening. There’s a kind of dark fascination in watching the depths we’re seeing in the US right now.
