You'll see murder, a cat video, political analysis, someone dancing, a warning the world is ending, and live war footage. All in one minute.We treat this like it's normal. It's not.Marshall McLuhan predicted this decades ago. He called it the "global village"—electronic media extending our nervous system globally. We'd feel everything, everywhere, all at once.It was a warning we ignored for far too long.When the nervous system is overexposed, it protects itself the only way it can: by numbing.Your brain wasn't built for this. Fear and threat get priority processing. Violence makes your system surge. Then a meme. Surge. Release. Surge. Release.It's repeated nervous-system activation with no recovery.So you adapt. You go numb. Not just to violence—to feeling itself. Tragedy and comedy blur into the same gray noise.I'm not sure the exact solution. But I'm sure the emotional whiplish is not good for our brain. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTVQFsdDgb1/?igsh=N2VuYjR0aWFyMGpl
