The Headless Horseman of Mass Media: Information Overload, Philosophy Nowhere
Have you ever noticed how we're inundated with information but seldom encounter ideas in the media that genuinely enrich our lives? Not the typical self-help advice about losing weight or enhancing our love lives, but meaningful insights about the big questions, such as what to ponder upon waking up or how to drink from a bottle without an embarrassing burp.

Addressing Life's Essentials
One might assume that by the age of sixteen, people have enough mental tools to navigate life. However, considering the widespread chaos and dissatisfaction globally, it seems few manage to defend against life's setbacks or embrace its joys.
Lessons from History
