Gemini season is still in effect! Leaning into the final days of Jupiter and Mercury in Gemini, I've been all about the Gemini as I celebrated my birthday. I've been having some multi-faceted, inspiring discussions with friends and colleagues. Granting myself more conscious collaborations.
While I appreciate having access lots of intriguing online content, those experiences come with less interactive participation. So, it's been great to engage in recent one-to-one discussions with friends on topics that really light me up. I’m enjoying noticing the threads that keep popping up. One such thread is around the information sources we connect with. Understanding our media and information ecology. What exactly are we consenting to when give those sources our attention?
Who are the reliable narrators? Is it possible to have sources in your information network that don't include "bad actors" or gatekeepers or controlled opposition? I believe that’s highly unlikely with mainstream media and parts of alternative media. What's your level of awareness around this? I know I'm very curious about this and have cultivated discernment of this over decades.
I'm talking about it more as I believe it's one of the most important health concerns right now. If it's unhealthy to have a diet consumption of junk food, then wouldn't it be unhealthy to consume the junk ingredients of mainstream and alternative media. I feel like the leading edge of this discussion is taking shape, and I'm really curious about what others think and experience with their perception of controlled media.
