I have to wonder who actually reads headlines from a newspaper (or news feeds as it may be now) and thinks they're "well-informed"? Like I do that a lot (read headlines and bylines and carry on because I have no interest in the article) and there is no delusion of being "informed" there, just a vague idea that something is happening somewhere.

The only people impacted directly, are those on location

Technically but I imagine anyone not immediately local but who had family or friends in that area at that time would be secondarily affected.

identify what we want to do and surround ourselves with the content that helps us achieve that end, or at least, take that journey.

What is the thought process behind that like? Genuine curiousity from someone who has always known what they wanted to do from birth (okay maybe 7 or 8 XD) and is still trending in that general direction with several detours despite no hope of success at this point :)
