Disgruntalist Time

Episode two looks at the news and how its format, aesthetics, content, frequency, and disproportionate focus on the negative increase fear, anxiety, and thus individuality, ego, and separateness. We also chat about the "nocebo" effect of the news, how it generates negatives karma, how it's become a source of affirmation (of our identity) rather than information, and finally offer a (fun) meditation to counter the effects of the news.

Episode one looks at how ego both can affect, and be the product of, satire. Maybe satire isn't meant to make the world better, but it definitely shouldn't (knowingly) contribute to forces that make it worse. Here's a chat about that :)
