My theory is that if people can turn to a material distraction (mass media, games, etc), mentally exhausting labour, or a social network in the same standing, ASAP after information of such an event, they do not have to act or even think about the event itself. I have come to this conclusion based on my toxic environment and absence of any enjoyable activities, so take it with a grain of salt.
