I am trying to do this as well, but being surrounded by news/social/stream outlets that just push unnecessary hype its hard to achieve this. Any recommendation on how to filter out the junk?

I am shocked to read this. Why are they still using leaded fuel? There are so many well known research that links lead in fuel to unstable mental health and crime in population.

What makes you believe US completes fairly and openly? Don't you see news on China import embargo and capture of it's executives.

Wikipedia has flaws,too. 1. Your account need to have good history or social repo for your edits to be seriously considered by Wikipedia admins. 2. Admin can have their own set of bias and can decide to ignore edits.

Remember Wikipedia is a centralized and under control of single entity, fact that they rely on donation doesn't change anything.

Protecting users data is a very hard problem to solve in current tech landscape. There are enormously profitable business build around this and are driving significant portion of economy.

Only solution I can see is to build alternative economic model that can thrive while protecting data, otherwise it would be an uphill battle with all tech giants that are going after user data for profit.

No matter how much they try to sell it as a good will gesture towards mobile users, I will not buy it. There are good examples where company starts off with good intent but later turns into a typical selfish corporation. Lets face it, every single corporation has to continuously grow, as demanded by market, which means at some point they will break their promises to implement new means of making money.

I feel like this for most sensational news stories that I hear on news. Too much agenda in every news pisses me off. I wish there was a way to filter out such agenda.

I agree. Train were so much more fun as I can recall from my childhood memories. Now I rarely see someone traveling via train, and those who do are trying to save some money(train fares are cheaper in other countries).

I guess time that's available to people has shortened so much that they can't afford to engage in fun once in a while. Even the damn vacation feels so hectic and stressful. I guess that's because most people's idea of vacation is going to new country/city that they have never visited(totally unfamiliar with things there) and try to cover all of it in 1-2 weeks(all they get in a year).

NASA actually receive lots of funding(might be second after military). Most of their work doesn't align with any of the politics promises, even then they receive good chunk of budget spending.

Plus, one looses so much(health and relations) in the process of making lots of money quickly that their option of coming back is no longer available. Lots of money also heightens one's expectations and comfort requirements so much that they hardly save much and, even if they do, its not enough for them to maintain lifestyle for long without new income.

Thats because its an USA company. You don't see it coming up in news, you don't see any lawsuits from other countries, and they will keep covering the real issue as long as they like. There have been incidents in past when corporations have leveraged USA influence to punish countries that have tried bringing airlines companies to justice(like when Indonesian airlines were barred from entering USA airspace because of them blacklisting a American airline). Had it been another company whole Airline would have been grounded and news channels would have been all over it.

Landscape protection is very important, but I agree with comment below. Supply Chain Management(SCM) is being promoted via such claims. While it may be willing to do landscape protection now, there's no guarantee that it will continue to do so in future. Corporations are known to eventually focus on profits.

That's because most people religiously put faith in dumb news outlets of USA and keeps repeating the same arguments without trying to fully understand them. They have gotten accustomed to outsourcing critical thinking process to news orgs.

When you make money more than what you need it irrelevant how you spend it.

Abnormal environment experiences do affect normal bodily functioning in animals and us. Its good that they are thinking of ways to advance technology without compromising our health.
