I am feeling better today. It was rough. Despite that, I had beautiful things to write about - including my thoughts about Valentine's Day and love. Purpose and work responsibility. How we all find it. Yet then I saw an aircraft carrier collided in a sea accident and I just don't know how something like that can happen. I have to admit I've been fascinated by cult hyper-realism, political extremism and how it all entangles together on media/SM. From my time witnessing and researching all of that - I can feel the echoes of it all, firing off. Chasing that kind of reactionary stuff is addicting. I thought I got past those old habits but apparently not. Makes me want to dive in. It's probably not healthy.
Sure, planes are high speed intricate but a giant boat? Can someone not turn the wheel? Did we learn nothing from Titantic? I'm joking but that's a lot of wasted resources. Yet considering the trajectory of our government, I do hope investigations into breaches and deviations from norm actually happen. Citizens deserve transparency.
With all available navigation and collision avoidance equipment available, it makes you wonder.
True. This is one of those media stories that I actually wonder about. So much noise exists. What I've noticed, I become curious about a story and the follow up never exists. Or it doesn't match up to basic facts of how life works. Full disclosure, I hate the media. The unnecessary sensationalism, the bias, the total disregard for grief and life itself.
Yet I like being informed about the world around me. Ignorance is not bliss in my world. I would much rather know the noise bubbles and where it's all going. Along with why. It doesn't take too much effort to navigate through it all. After awhile, it becomes predictable. And maybe that's because I've lived through so much real grief, it's become easier for me to emotionally moderate large amounts of fictional grief. I have emotional distance or something. I've thought about this a lot and I still quite haven't figured it all out. I'm going to continue to study it though.
But also 'the media' is not communication. Communication experts exist.
