How do you deal with highly targeted behavior-altering information in today's world?

[Bhaijaan]

Media has transformed human race for the good and bad.

Political polarization is at an all time high.

There are hardly many neutral and balanced news agencies that exist today. Every organisation has an underlying agenda either leftist or rightist to some degree.

How do you deal with information then?

How do you know that what you choose to like and choose to dislike is based in truth and that it's not a case where someone has just been successful in manipulating data to alter your behaviour and elicit certain reaction?

Everyone wants to do the right. We all want to look in the mirror and not feel ashamed of our actions.

These are highly thoughts provoking questions. Would love to hear you out.

I think it is all about using common sense. Everyone has an agenda.

There are usually two sides or angles to a story. Often, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

My advice is to believe what you like and be happy. Chances are it wont make much of a difference to the overall scheme of things!
