In today’s episode we're asking a question that sounds simple but really isn't: how much should you actually care? We dig into why your brain treats a stranger's divorce the same way it treats an actual emergency, break down a dead-simple way to sort what's worth your energy from what's just noise wearing a costume, and expose the uncomfortable truth that basically every industry out there - news, social media, politics, streaming - is competing for the exact same scarce resource: your attention. Spoiler - you can get it back. And it has nothing to do with deleting your apps.
