Are you going to take the vaccine?

Though I do find it interesting sifting through both the mainstream and the alternative views to get an inkling of what is going on in the world.

There is definitely value there, as you examine what the narratives are vs how those creating them are behaving. With that cross section you can derive some intent, especially where hypocrisy is involved, and maybe plan/react accordingly.

I have friends who want to live in a bubble and ask me why they should care about the outside world as it doesn't directly affect them. I correlate this to a farmer who doesn't pay attention to the long term weather outlook, you sometimes need to be able to position yourself to avoid catastrophe, or missing your intended target (the original meaning of sin). Not preparing for a flood when conditions are ideal only makes it that much more difficult (if not fatal) when the time comes. Preparation is part of wisdom, foreseeing what may lie ahead to make navigating easier when the floods come.
