Honestly, yes, and I think it's normal. Once you see how the money and the politics work, it's easy to keep doom-scrolling for more proof. What tends to help: • Put a cap on it. Read the news once a day, then close it. You already know the big picture; another 50 posts won't change what you do tomorrow. • Turn knowledge into small actions you control: self-custody, a node, cut a debt, learn one skill, help one person set up a wallet. • Spend more time offline with people who aren't in the rabbit hole. Lift, walk, cook, build something with your hands. • Remember low time preference cuts both ways: you can be patient with the world, too. The pod is comfortable because it asks nothing of you. Being awake is lighter when you're building, not just watching.
