In this episode, Charlie and Brian explore the pervasive sense of **overwhelm** many feel in today’s chaotic world, exacerbated by the digital revolution, social media, and constant news cycles. They discuss how past generations faced similar challenges during major information booms, like the invention of the printing press, and how today’s problems echo those of the past. They advocate for practical solutions, such as selective engagement with media, building supportive communities, and using tools like BlueSky to regain control over information flow. They emphasize the importance of **self-care, reconnection, and balance** to combat isolation and toxicity. The hosts also highlight how overwhelm is often intentionally fostered by systems to exploit and distract people, underscoring the need for personal resilience and systemic change.
