Why Live Each Day Instead of Political Doom?
at 1:07:31
Answer
Michael Arrington says politics feels meaner than the 90s, and the way through the fear is to live each day rather than sink into doom.
He used to think everyone hating each other was just him getting older. Republicans and Democrats kind of got along in the 90s, not totally, but they kind of did. Men and women used to go on dates and like each other, and the world felt pretty nice. He still asks whether he is just a get-off-my-lawn guy, and he is really scared for a lot of things right now.
He deals with the fear by refusing doomerism. He tries to live life every day. Arrington's advice for anybody who over-ruminates is to get out of their head and live their life.
