Forget cow flatulence. That Seth guy is hardcore BS. One danged stupid thing after another. Even the good news is the basis for crisis.

A number of years ago I read a book on media.

They pointed out three things.

Good news is no news.

Bad news is big news.

Good news is bad news.

The last was the most interesting because you take something that would seem to be good and make it into a catastrophe.

Example, How often have you heard about the "world wide obesity crisis"? It is horrible! We are all going to die!

But... 100 years ago people were starving to death. And not just in third world countries either.

Being fat, not healthy. Starving though, that does kill you.

We have mostly whipped the world food problem. That is something that has not happened ever in recorded history.
