Being blissfully ignorant is a thing, the unknow is so immense I can't even imagine it. Even from the cozy and safe place I created for myself, the little I know sometimes does not help when looking out of the window, looking out all that mess. The main issue is probably when relating with other humans and listening to what they have indoctrinated. Just make me feel secure.
Despite that, I still see sunny days and a colourful life ahead. At least for me lol!

I feel like after 2008 people lost hope and got demoralized. Then after lockdowns people began to oscillate between rage, anxiety, and severe depression. I miss the days prior to 08 when everything seemed possible.

I came from a time that you weren't hammered with shit all day everyday.
I can remember the 80s and 90s quite clearly and how no one gave any fucks about what was going on anywhere else.
So I do a few things.
I am "blissfully ignorant" to a degree. I've spent the past 2 decades putting myself in a position to not have to worry about most any elses shit.
I also eat healthy, exercise daily, have goals and dreams, garden, play the guitar or try to, play vids, tinker alot and more.
Life is still about choices and you are what you consume. You said you read extensively about those topics so it's important to you. But if your biggest hobby and passion is a negative well...that's an internal question.
I have a very firm boundary on my negative "curiosity" intake. As soon as I pick up on that red flag I'm out.
People didn't need skills like this prior because you didn't get fucked to no end to feel the pressure of societies shitty choices.
But now you do...so you need to know when to pull out.
