Alex Greenwood explores the mental health dangers of social media, particularly during an election year. He discusses the double-edged sword of social media, the impact of excessive use on anxiety and depression, and the role of the 24-hour news cycle in exacerbating mental health issues.

He also highlights the importance of embracing the Stoic philosophy of focusing on what can be controlled and cutting out excessive news and political consumption. It emphasizes the need to recognize and avoid clickbait and misinformation, and the responsibility of individuals in stopping the spread of false information.
