Switching off from alternate realities to focus on the real one

Conviction in your own opinions is tough when you’re exposed to millions of people living in their alternate realities.

The Biden campaign decided that to focus on the ‘actual’ reality – and change it – they’d need to turn off that exposure.

You and I aren’t bringing about massive social change everyday, so we don’t necessarily need to cut ourselves off the way the campaign did. But it’s good to set aside some time during the week thinking about stuff that matters to you – however trivial that might be – independent of what people say about it online.
