I'm almost the same as OP, but I wouldn't call it "head in the sand". For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you'll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc..

Stop following the news, and you won't notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

You get what you pay for with free news. I've been subscribed to The Economist for a few years and all my news is delivered calmly and emotionlessly and backed up by data and research.

I feel much better and I'm still up to date on real news, not political theatre and recreational rage.

Oatmeal is predictable, pretty healthy depending on your toppings, and filling. It is not overly exciting and doesn't cause much emotional response. You still should to eat more than oatmeal, though. Quality, but diversity too. The Economist has had a reliable capital bias since its inception (it's so old you can read them hand wringing for what the end of American slavery is going to do to business). Doesn't mean their stuff is bad. You probably do consume more than oatmeal and I don't mean to paint you as univerous (did I make that up? moniverous?) but I thought I'd put this message out there.
