Nowadays, it seems like every day there’s a story about somebody who just ‘lost it.’ They snapped. They went on a killing spree. They committed an atrocity. They acted in a way that people who had known them their entire lives never could have predicted.One reason for this is the media inculcation of our modern lives. For anyone who is regularly plugged in, it’s impossible to avoid the 24/7 news ticker. Algorithms feed us fear-based stories, worsening the mental health of the masses by nefarious design.
