After the Scottish independence referendum on Thursday 18 September I want to take the advice from this article “News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier” by Rolf Dobelli and give up news for a year as an experiment.
According to that article:
- News misleads.
- News is irrelevant.
- News has no explanatory power.
- News is toxic to your body.
- News increases cognitive errors.
- News inhibits thinking.
- News works like a drug.
- News wastes time.
- News makes us passive.
- News kills creativity.
Until then I want to keep up to date with how the Yes campaigns wants to dismantle my country.
