And within that small corridor, they can establish a good vs evil narrative. This warps your world view, no matter what &#34;side&#34; you are on. &#xA;&#xA;In reality, there are no &#34;sides&#34;.&#xA;So how do you stay sane in an insane world? &#xA;&#xA;- Don&#39;t engage when you get emotionally triggered, and don&#39;t come to sudden conclusions about &#34;current things&#34; that you are not well versed in. You don&#39;t always have to have a strong opinion about stuff.&#xA;&#xA;- Stop consuming content from channels that have a proven track record of psychological nudging such as corporate media, statist communication,  and centralised social media.&#xA;&#xA;- Curate your feed. Treat your mind how you treat your body. Don&#39;t feed your brain with constant garbage. &#xA;&#xA;- Don&#39;t believe authoritative sources. Always try to get the full picture, instead of just leaning on one source, such as government, academia, or other institutions. Always ask for verification and proof.&#xA;&#xA;- Cultivate and rely on strong bedrock principles, then you are less easily swayed by nonsense, fear and other feelings. Develop your inner compass. &#xA;&#xA;- Choose what you want to focus on, consciously, for your long-term mental and physical health.&#xA;&#xA;Lastly, someone said, if you get angry about something or someone; wait 24 hours until you respond. If you are still angry after 24 hours, then you can engage in a more conscious way.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m not perfect, and I&#39;m constantly make mistakes, and its part of the journey. Failing is the greatest teacher.</html></oembed>
