How much should I care about news? (www.theguardian.com)

I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don't change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can't think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

I still read the news and argue about it with people on the internet, which is what I'm recommending against doing. Don't be me. Live your life. I'm seriously not sure I'm more off "informed" than if I were to just draw furry erotica all day.

For me, the key question is, What does being up to date help you? And my answer, as someone that is constantly up to date, is that it doesn't.
