RE: The morgenseiten of Katharsisdrill 28 - news and politics
I am in the same boat - I have to discipline myself to stay away from distractions. Also do not have a TV (or radio). But I am hooked on politics on YouTube. When I am at the studio, which is on the other end of the city, I have no access to a computer - my cellphone sucks for that, so WhatsApp is the only one I actually use when away from home.
Facebook is useless. Got to break that habit.
Been watching the Swedish elections also - I lived there in the mid-sixties and am still interested in what is happening. We are going through a phase everywhere in the EU, but I am optimistic it will get better again. We've been maybe a bit naive in the past, so this is biting us in the ass. Wishful thinking and hard reality are not always compatible.
Being an artist seems to be one long battle against distractions - I have had so many different advices on how to avoid the perils of interesting things from older colleagues, that I considered making a small folder. The authors have special text editor programs that goes full screen and blocks all info from the operating system :)
Sweden is late for the bal, but it is really a global wave of doubting and not-so doubting conservatism. I prefer the doubting one.
