No longer caring about politics

[Daniel Balan]

From this day forth, I will no longer care about politics! 

I've come to the conclusion that for an average Joe as myself, caring about politics is detrimental to my personal development, peace of mind and my mental health. 

The political epistemic ecosystem is rotten to the core and the zone has been flooded with so much shit by all political, parties, from the all sides of politics, that it is simply impossible to arrive at a clear picture about how things really stand.

I shall focus more on my personal development, I have only so much free time in a day, I can't use all my free time contemplating politics.

I will still engage in my civic right of voting, but I will no longer spend countless hours ruminating about politics. 

When I will go to vote I will vote for the highest integrity, highest honesty, highest construct aware, highest spiral dynamics and ego development stage among all political parties and among all individual candidates. 

I must focus on myself, 2025 politics is the equivalent of a septic tank. I will no longer engage in such low consciousness mental activities.

No worries. Good idea to take a break.

99% of politics is noise intentionally put into the social media to distract people from the real issue which is that a small powerful elite have gamed the system so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.   The culture wars are entertainment meant to distract.  So, indeed it is a waste of time to indulge in the latest “important thing”.    The recent revelation that Chomsky was a close friend of Epstein woke me up and made me realize that the system is completely corrupt and managed from the top.  Where do you find the truth?  Is it even possible when it is hidden in a ton of garbage?

I've also completely given up on "staying informed", I see it as a wildly large distraction which provides little value to your personal life. For those who think this is selfish, i think you can actually do more good and provide more value by staying away from the political arena and focusing on your area of mastery, inspiration and philsophy. It's good to understand politics and the systems but keeping up with it serves no value to my life purpose. 

 

I check major news stories once a month and other than that i stay away. It pulls the mind in different directions, and since quitting news and politcal updates, my mental health, focus, and happiness skyrocketed.

 

If you really take a break and come back you will clearly see that most of this stuff isn't even actually news, it's like a drama or TV show, none of it actually really is that important or significant.

After a certain point, once you've studied the field of politics and you've understood all of it, paying attention to it becomes counter-productive.

Yes, it is good to take a break from politics. Not forever, but for periods.

I subbed to some basic news channels on WhatsApp. In my minimum setup I get the most basic things in 1-2 mins a day.

I am also not in a position where it would be wise for me to contemplate politics all day but this is still a lot better then not listening to politics at all.

@JodistrictStop calling them elite your words matter. They are pedophiles with more money than you. They arent above you in terms of anything.

elite

/iˈlēt,āˈlēt/

noun

noun: elite; plural noun: elites

1.

a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.

 

Try this one

robber baron

/ˈräbər ˌberən,rɒbərˈbarən/

noun

noun: robber baron; plural noun: robber barons

a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices (originally with reference to prominent US businessmen in the late 19th century).

 

They put these words out there and God hears you and says they are better than you.

Following all the Trump craziness and the online YouTube political sphere starts to take a toll on mental health. Probably need a break. It would be nice if politics got boring and sensible again
