News addition: How I kicked the habit https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/2018/04/10/how-kicked-my-news-addiction/480157002/Negative news catches our attention, captures our imagination and scares us into reading more, because negativity looms larger in the human brain than positive events. We are controlled by our emotions, and our emotions are controlled by fear. A tiny almond-shaped part of our brain called the amygdala drives all of this. Even though it’s small, the amygdala can override our decision-making and is hyper-tuned to negativity. https://masto.pt/@digfish/113436852140215059
