In this episode, we reflect on a day filled with overwhelming global events — from a shocking free-solo climb of Taipei 101 to violence in Minneapolis, mass protests in Iran, extreme weather across the U.S., and nonstop breaking news from around the world.The episode explores a difficult but often overlooked question: what happens to our personal lives when our attention is consumed by global tragedy? While staying informed and caring about injustice matters, constant exposure to chaos can quietly pull focus away from the people, responsibilities, and relationships closest to us.From neglected friendships and family struggles to missed personal goals and everyday obligations, this episode examines the emotional cost of being perpetually plugged into the news cycle — and why local, personal suffering still matters even when the world feels like it’s burning.This is not a call to ignore global events, but a reflection on balance, awareness, and the unintended consequences of living in a constant state of urgency.#taipei101 #minneapolis #philosophypodcast
