A short YouTube video by TJ Walker explaining that humans are evolutionarily programmed to scan for risk (a survival mechanism) and warning that modern media amplifies risk signals, which can overwhelm mental health. Walker advises actively seeking positivity and cultivating a habit of looking for hopeful signs to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
We mammals are programmed to look for risk. Be on the lookout. Avoid the saber toothed tiger coming to eat you. From a biological evolutionary standpoint, that's how we're programmed. That's how we survive. But realize in the modern world, we are bombarded every second of the day from thousands of different sources, all telling us about risk. If you look at all of them and process it, you will go crazy. You have to be much more aggressive. In this modern age of looking for positivity, looking for positive signs, looking for things to give you hope. If you don't actively look, you will go crazy. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
