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:)
To your question 'what am I offering'- you are sharing loads of wisdom I am grateful for. Please don't stop curating the input that becomes this priceless newsletter. Thank you!
Mă bucur că ai pus în cuvinte tot ✨ și îți mulțumesc 🙏 pentru că arată realitatea pe care o simțim. Articolul este că o briza de aer proaspăt (și de validare) după atâta disonanță cognitivă.

Wow, that new Omelas story!
Ai pus punctul pe multe i-uri care ne apasă chinuitor pe fiecare dintre noi.

Multumesc! Ai articulat perfect un gand pe care l-am simtit azi dimineata!
