While we can all understand why people would want to disengage from the news (when we're living through such a hellish time), but when people do disengage, the Q. is how do they then form political views (because they will certainly still have them)?
Does this disengagement serve populists who offer simple (but often mistaken) 'solutions' to problems?
Does disengagement allow people to build views based on ethical grounds?
How worried should we be?

Just released my latest #blog, titled "The Immutable Linux Paradox" which explores what makes an immutable Linux distribution, and how #Ubuntu Core approaches the challenge.
Immutable Linux distributions are gaining popularity due to their promises of resilience and security, with mainstream operating systems adopting similar principles.
This post explores how different Linux distributions achieve immutability, the trade-offs, and why you should give it a try!

Chrysotile vs Pectolite (planetary science edition)
Chrysotile, a member of the serpentine group, has been found in meteorites, for example in an aqueously altered fragment from the Almahata Sita meteorite together with amphiboles.
Pectolite occurs in the hydrothermally altered central uplift of the Manicouagan impact structure in Canada together with analcime, thompsonite, hematite, prehnite and anhydrite.

TC Won't Give In To Lies
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Let me tweak the question.
How can people still form ethical views with limited factual information and exposure to other viewpoints?
To me, the answer must be to created new communication channels that provide facts and humane viewpoints. Clearly, the current channels have failed.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to TC Won't Give In To Lies • • •@TCatInReality
Its an interesting issue - I think ethical views at their most basic stem from the values inculcated into us by our parents - mine certainly were.... so, it may be that when we self-engage these ethical commitments we can be less dependent on the news to know what we think about politics?.... or maybe I'm just being idealistic?
TC Won't Give In To Lies
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I believe our values are shaped by those around us. Of course, parents have the first and often deepest impact.
But life is full of examples of people whose values changed radically after being normalised by others.
Who you surround yourself with (and what you spend you time on) will naturally have an effect on your value system.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to TC Won't Give In To Lies • • •@TCatInReality
yes, I'd agree, I was starting with the parents, but would agree on the social groupings' influence.... I guess my point is that can be a lot more significant than watching or not watching the news? But that said, its intuition, not based on any data or research I have in my hand

So when the disengaged do see the little news that might watch, the populist message is what they see....

There's lots of political research on value formation, I'm just not familiar with it as it was outside my area of research (or teaching) interests
Matt Mascarenhas
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •For me, formation of political views begins with personal policies, e.g. one of my policies is in cooking, to try and pair ingredients with complementary flavours. And the formation of that arose out of my engagement with (i.e. beyond merely doing) the process of cooking.
I dunno, maybe leaving people space / mental bandwidth to engage with something, anything, could help keep populist simplism at bay?
Rob Zazueta
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I think you put too much value in the "news".
Every major news organization is owned and controlled by the ownership class, who use it to promote and validate their worldview that they are superior to the average person.
All news is inherently biased - the current news organizations and the folks who own them have just perfected it.
News is no more than gossip. Politics - at least as you discuss them here - is about centralized control.
The answer is to bring it local.
Rob Zazueta
in reply to Rob Zazueta • • •This is why I still believe in social media - and, in particular, decentralized social media, like ActivityPub.
We can and should run our own instances for ourselves and the communities who matter to us.
We should share news among each other, focus on building local economies.
We should negotiate how to break away from centralized politics controlled by selfish money perverts who only care for themselves and rebuild the communities they destroyed.
Make politics local again.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Rob Zazueta • • •@robz
Certainly some politics *is* local and benefits from being discussed/decided at a local level, but that's not true for all politics... there's a lot going on that has a local impact but is not local politics
Rob Zazueta
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •It has outsized local impact because we have abdicated too much local control to distant "leaders" who fail to take local needs into account when making decisions that affect us.
The last few decades has been a continual movement of taking away community control and centralizing it among governments and national / multinational corporations.
That makes us all far too dependent on people who are operating a scale where we don't matter.
Communities need self determination.
Rob Zazueta
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I notice you're in the UK - at least, I think that's the case.
I'm in California. I have done an extensive amount of traveling throughout the UK and Europe. Our systems are very similar on the surface, but the differences cut so deep I honestly think we're incapable of truly understanding each other.
So this may be a problem unique to the US. Our country is *MASSIVE* - no one seems to understand that.
We're not one country - we're at least 50.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Rob Zazueta • • •@robz
yes, in the UK (but confusingly using a US instance).... and yes I can see how State politics in the US is another significant level we just don't really have... and yes, the superficial similarities between our countries are often over-recognised while the major deeper differences are ignored... having travelled in the USA a lot (in the past) I can very much see thst

The UK has no reliable factual sources.

Many years ago I stopped getting the Economist as they reported on a set of events & circumstances I was involved with & got it completely wrong & then that drove an analysis that missed the point of what had happened.... I thought, well if they got this so wrong, perhaps they're getting other stuff wrong too & cancelled my subscription - never regretted it
