I don't think you have an answer for this but it would be interesting to investigate/hear how this desensitization affects atheltes' in their training and racing. Perception and feel are huge components of performance and many atheltes are some of the worst offenders of constantly being on their phones because the narrative is out there that it's a "passive activity" that they can do while they recover from training and racing.
I don't consume media in the form on news. Not a single minute. I don't know if it is good or bad, but right now it protects both my brain & peace as well. I run weekly 100 miles, read substack blogs which I have subscribed and write long form comments on them. I listen to a lot of podcasts as well and read books in my free time. No news for the last 8-10 years as it has been.

I was thinking about the meaning of the word "feed" today, as in news feed. We're starving.
