🧠 Why Your Brain Hates Modern News (And How to Fix It)

Good morning!

What if every minute you spent scrolling the news actually mattered?

Let’s face it: staying informed in 2025 feels like drinking from a firehose. You open one app for sports, another for politics, a third for that niche Substack about business ethics… only to drown in hot takes, paywalls, and headlines engineered to outrage you.

By the time you piece together the real story, you’ve wasted 30 minutes—and your coffee’s gone cold.

Why open seven different apps when one could read the room—and the news—for you?

WHO SAID IT?

“We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.”

🕵 Hint: This media critic warned that technology would become our tyrant… not our tool.
