The Swiss bestselling author Rolf Dobelli (“The Art of Clear Thinking”) complains that the “News” constant barrage sets wrong priorities.
“Whoever consumes news, builds a wrong risk map in their head. We systematically overestimate the importance of glaring, personalized and rapidly evolving events. And we systematically underestimate the importance of developments that are slow, complex and not personalizable. These are existential issues such as the growing resistance of all kinds of pathogens, which are difficult to convey – and accordingly play no role in this global news industry.”
– Rolf Dobelli, Swiss entrepreneur and bestselling author, in “The shorter, the worse”, Handelsblatt, 30., 31. August/1. September 2019
