As the press becomes increasingly skilled at stimulating the emotion centres in our brains, one should expect the public to be in a continuous state of fight-or-flight anxiety. We’re more scared and angry than we ever have been, at least since World War II. And that means bigger storms ahead in the form of protests and divisiveness

Be mindful of how the incentives of the press relate to the stories and information they put out.
