Our news and commentary has gotten unbearably depressing, angry, and unproductive for me lately. Or pathetically biased and delusional, from one direction or the other. Even the more rational and reasonable outlets (while also entertaining, often) have become too much of a psychological and spiritual drain for me. And an unproductive time suck.

I'm coming back to the Gulch here for some recommendations. Is there anyone you follow / watch / listen to on a social media channel or website that provides (1) an objective and rational outlook on current events (2) a positive and inspiring attitude, and (3) action-oriented or practice advice that can actually help us become more happy, productive, and virtuous in our crazy world?

I could list our "usual suspects" but I don't want to contaminate and pre-populate the results. Enlighten and persuade me if someone is out there you think meets all these criteria. Bonus points if it is someone using a video platform because that is the most effective and fun way to engage with someone / some outlet.

In other words, I'm looking for an outlet that consistently delivers on the sentiment from Ayn Rand who said, "The world you deserve exists. It is real. It is yours." And here is how you can claim it...

Who is delivering on that philosophy?? Help me, please.

This discussion topic is also a test to see if a meaningful gap exists in which someone needs to fill. ;-)

Thanks, Brett
