how to stay calm when news media tries to provoke you
countries need to run their games in media for strategic reasons
so when every news in media seems like conflict between everyone,
how to stay calm, feels pointless in meditating if you get emotional as soon as you look at the news
a few tricks are conceptual understanding of conflicts
and strategic reasoning about conflicts
these tricks activates logic in the brain instead of emotions
news in media can make a trivial political conflict seem massive
and news media forces you to pick a side in trivial conflict by supporting one side so that if you disagree just a little bit, you will be provoked by news media until you are forced to look at a different news media outlet, often with a opposite view of the conflict
and after a while, you feel something is missing, then maybe you start looking at blogs, youtube and other social media
and the process repeats itself
