@wallofknives @webbj74 Events that are rare (and not a threat to me personally) can still contain valuable insights about the world.

@wallofknives @webbj74 But the best media outlets and writers go beyond headlines to provide useful context and analysis.

@wallofknives @webbj74 Of course, some have argued that a fascination with dramatic, unusual, and violent events has an evolutionary basis.

@wallofknives @webbj74 And yes, many media outlets exploit bad news for clicks, views, etc. This isn’t new. Hence: “if it bleeds, it leads”

@wallofknives @webbj74 Delayed response – Yes, the world is obviously more peaceful, safer, and more prosperous than ever before in history.

2010: what’s an Android
2012: nope
2014: still no
2016: change how society functions
