   If you find this interesting, I suggest reading Peter Turchin's Ages of Discord, which factors this and other hypothesis into secular cycle models, which backfit nicely onto history.

   True, and you might be interested in Peter Turchin's "Ages of Discord" for a more in-depth investigation into how and why that happens.

   The answer to the first question, is that I absolutely avoid watching TV (including YouTube/Hulu/etc. equivalents). I also have an "only on Sundays" rule for Facebook.

   The answer to the second question probably changes a lot, but I think the long term answer is probably: 1) Jonathan Haidt, "The Righteous Mind" 2) Nassim Nicholas Taleb, "Antifragility" 3) Peter Turchin, "Ages of Discord"

   For those interested in Peter Turchin's work, he just released a new book called "Ages of Discord". It's got a lot of mathematical notation, but if you're not put off by that it's a good read. http://peterturchin.com/ages-of-discord/

   This is essentially the premise of Peter Turchin's Ages of Discord, specifically measured in "The Double Spiral of Well-Being and Elite Overproduction".[1]

   The principal author, Peter Turchin, doubled down on his 2020 prediction a few years later in the book "Ages of Discord". Unfortunately, perhaps because it had a bit of math involved, it didn't have the impact we might wish it had: http://peterturchin.com/ages-of-discord/
