This week has been a bit hard on me physically, and anxiety and agitation were high. And I realised that everything that turns on my feed (insta or even substack), be it news on Gaza or Iran, being videos of healthy eating or other funny memes, only increases that anxiety and discomfort. Now with the notion you bring, hypernormalization, I start to make a sense of it and the “it” behind it. Like pieces of puzzles coming together. And sometimes we just need quiet and to get off the wheel of reels, to get back to us and our own internal system or compass. Thank you for writing this, and for the side dishes! I will start with the MIT study:)
