I’m terms of people needing to be the first to know about whatever, and their need to demonstrate said knowledge on social media and elsewhere….maybe it’s the circles you travel in? I don’t see that tendency in the people I’m close to. The people I know that do that kind of stuff, always posting some such nonsense, they aren’t people I associate with or pay any attention to.
When it comes to life in general, and social media, the news, etc…..I try to stay somewhat informed of the news of the day, or the latest developments on Omicron, or whatever it may be….but I’m with Rivercoil and others. I don’t get wrapped up in it if it doesn’t affect my life. I’ve got a job to do, a family to provide for and take care of, good friends I need to support, and a need to be a productive and supportive member of society, but that can be accomplished while maintaining a bit of ignorance is bliss. So yes, in some respects it’s better “not to know”.
IMHO that does NOT apply to skiing. Sure, an off the cuff adventure can be fun, even the experience of a lifetime…but if I’m headed somewhere I like to have a plan and know as much as I can going in, so I can make the most of my somewhat limited opportunities.
