Successful interactions with the world require realistic expectations about the world. This video addresses the role of the media in developing realistic expectations.
The role of realistic expectations
If your expectations about the world are wrong: the world will prove you wrong and you will be faced with the consequences of your erroneous expect
Role of the media:
Worse than mainstream media reflects very low realism
Mainstream media is for a mainstream audience and it is usually not very respectful towards the highest possible quality information
Better than mainstream media is highly respectful of the best possible information available
Worldview:
Pathological worldview: you create your own problems (coping trap)
Normal worldview: you create as many problems as you solve (a combination of coping and co-creation )
Healthy worldview: you prevent and solve more problems than you create (mostly co-creation in combination with effective coping)
