Yesterday's existential latte conversation summary:

Does news sell because people are naturally attracted to conflict?

Why don't we consider that violence sells because there is a certain civilisational positioning of conflict through the media to excite a sense of urgency and immediacy in the consumer. My simple litmus test: do you enjoy watching your children fight? Or your parents argue? Are you your best self when in conflict with your spouse?

Peace is our natural state.
