What am I doing today? Taking care of my son. Trying to have another child. What do I need to plan for tomorrow? How am I going to vaccinate my child next year? How do I get my wife medical care if she has another unviable pregnancy? How small of a life you must lead that you can just not engage.

All fair points. I'm having trouble understanding how this relates to the outrage-centered media, however.

Current top stories on the CNN frontpage are:

> Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship is blocked nationwide

> Trump’s Gaza plan is the most outlandish in region’s peacemaking history

> China is building a giant laser to generate the energy of the stars, satellite images appear to show

Is your child not a citizen? Are you child's vaccines related to Gaza, somehow? Will China's laser affect your wife's pregnancy?

Why do you feel the need to engage with this?

So your argument to not engaging is that my argument isn’t sufficiently updated to the onslaught of news today? RFK passed committee yesterday. Trump planning to use our military for a middle east genocide isn’t something that I should worry about?!? Where were you on 9/11?

Will worrying stop Trump? I believe that is the overarching point here.

Stressing over things you can't/won't impact is largely a waste of time and energy. Your worry wont help Gaza.

Worrying is a precursor for planning and action. I have agency. We all do. Sad that you squander yours.

Definitionally there is no action that you will or can take about the things I said not to worry about, since I made that the condition. Comon man, at least read the comment.

I didn't say "never worry about anything ever".
