I am trying to avoid consuming all the news all the time. Then when I do do a news catchup, it’s completely maddening to need to piece together a picture of the story from several sources and hybridize my own take. Worth considering that anyone’s take can become its own mutated third thing that may be influencing others and amassing likes as a supertake, with cascades of subtakes rolling down the mountain, creating a mirror universe of infinite possibilities — an unmanageable number of perspectives.

(a x b^c)^(xy) = overfuckingwhelmed

Where:

a represents the original take on a subject
b represents the number of news sources on the subject of the take
c represents the updates as information is shared
x represents the individual's feelings
y represents the individual's sensitivity to news consumption

OM.
