Do we want to have media that contributes to a better future? Do we want to fuel content grounded in reason, logic, and common sense?
Focus on nuclear weapons.
There is no other factor within human control that can so quickly and so decisively end our hopes for a better future. The vast majority of other subjects being discussed in “constructive journalism” are really mostly a dangerous distraction from that which will decide our future.
Happily, we seem to be emerging from climate change denial, and now pretty much the entire population is alert to this danger, and receptive to plans to address this challenge. Unhappily, nuclear weapons denial disease remains rampant, pervasive, and durable, even at the very highest levels of our society.
This claim will now be disputed in following comments. The debate may be interesting for a few days, but then it will become boring, and we’ll drop right back in to nuclear weapons denial, and sweep it back under the rug so as to return our focus to sexier topics like AI. And this is the mechanism by which the brighter future you dream of will be destroyed.
Given the pervasive nature of nuclear weapons denial, every mention of these weapons in any media is an act of constructive activism. It’s not necessary to agree with any particular point of view. Just say the words “nuclear weapons” where ever you can, and you’re making a constructive contribution.
