Obligatory re-post of Aaron Swartz's blogpost: https://archive.md/KavvY https://archive.md/KavvY I also decided a while ago to quit reading the news everyday, partly inspired by Aaron's post. I no longer feel ashamed to be uninformed. Also, weird side-effect, but I find that I'm much more humble when engaging in political discussions with colleagues now and less inclined to go on a rant.
