The Social Media Catastrophe at Handwaving Freakoutery. RTWT, it's short, maybe 10 minutes.
TLDR version: The total daily time the public spends gawking at social/news media is a fixed common resource. The current outrage epidemic is a classic "tragedy of the the commons" scenario. The author has no general societal solution, but presents a few ideas which might blunt the worst of the effects at the individual level.
Next up, something happy: a new Jimmy Buffett album, and it's acoustic.
