> It's like there is this thirst for disaster or some global drama everywhere

People like to pretend like the world is causing their internal state, that their mood is an inevitable product of the environment they're in. I feel catastrophic, disastrous, and look at all the evidence that the world is headed for a cliff! True, we're embedded in our world, but a peaceful person doesn't spend as much time focusing on Eschatology.

Life is confirmation bias. Numbers can help, I suppose.

Exactly this. It feels like this day and age people are trying to blame everything around them for their troubles. They can't bare to look at themselves and think "maybe I need to change?"
