the case for hope (slrpnk.net)

two signals drive the human spirit: positive and negative vibes.

while at first glance, both might seem like legitimate ways to actuate people, one (negative) is devouring, the other (positive) is enhancing. that is why positive news should be preferred here instead of negative ones.

I'm saying this because I see a lot of very dystopian headlines being pushed around here.

(while at first glance, negative news might seem to get more attention; in the long run, positive news is what sticks with people. be encouraging, not discouraging.) :D

Whether or not you're religious, you can always have faith and hope for the future.

I think there are many comforting stories that can be great for your mental health. I grew up watching Red Dwarf, and that made me always excited about what could happen in the distant future.
