“I tell people that if it’s in the news, don’t worry about it. The very definition of ‘news’ is ‘something that hardly ever happens.’ It’s when something isn’t in the news, when it’s so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that you should start worrying.” — Bruce Schneier (via marco)
He has it backwards.
The news is filled with car crashes every day
(and that is exactly why you don’t need to worry about the news).
Right now our governments are conspiring
to turn the internet inside out.
It’s one of the most crucial issues facing our generation.
But the car hasn’t crashed yet so it’s not news.
Wait another year until it’s too late to do anything about it
and it will be a headline.
