Lovely article! I’ve just been checking out your newsletter and you really have so many fresh ideas. I myself have noticed I have something resembling persuasion fatigue where I expose myself to content that displays values opposed to my own, and I spend mental energy arguing with the idea. It’s exhausting. I guess that’s also what everyone on Twitter experiences pretty much the whole time.
Anyway, I’ve decided recently to avoid opposing views content, as it just gets me riled up. And yada yada yada, we’re supposed to expose ourselves to opposing views so we stay “open minded” - ehh. I already know where they stand. I know where I stand, no reason to go into it. I like to just focus on my world and my loved ones.
