Fascinating example with the ants! Yellow journalism ostensibly started with Joseph Pulitzer in the 1880s. He owned newspapers that highlighted crime and suicides and death in all its glory. Sales went out the roof. Now we name a journalism prize after him. Odd, the world.

Important to step out of the slipstream as you suggest. Important to turn away from the wild images - they are not there to inform or help our survival.

Thanks for writing this, Desiree. 😊👏
