additional knowledge of the minutiae of daily business can be useless, even actually toxic, is indirectly but quite effectively testable.
Learning every little detail about COVID can be toxic, All I really need to know are the basics as they apply to me.
If I don't go near people they can't transmit the disease to me. This doesn't affect my lifestyle in any meaningful way.
I don't need to get in any masked vs. unmasked fights.
