I feel like Eve who ate from the apple of truth, only the apple for me has been years of reading texts on the subject of economics. This has spoiled a lot of my previously casual news consumption, and it's ruined my ability to just watch people discuss politics.
By the way, the subject of "economics" should really always be called the more accurate: "money sorcery," and economists: "market warlocks."
As many have said before me, "The stock market is just a mood ring for wealthy people." >sigh<
