You have to be an extremely privileged and selfish person to not need to know or care what’s happening in the world.

I’m sure the author’s friends and family enjoy being their only source of local information as well.

I imagine this person going to the store without a mask and being confused and indignant at being refused entry. “Oh but my 24 centuries of books didn’t say I needed a mask at the store!” and then driving home directly into a brush fire they didn’t know about because their family was tired of handholding them.

The author of this article was so incredibly dull to read. I gave up once they started listing of chapter headings one after the next.

Whatever point they were try to make is immediately dismissed by any casual reader with a single thougt: How will I know what's going on?

You are right that obtaining recent news is essential to survival.

That would only happen once wouldn’t it? Someone would probably explain what was going on.
