You might find that stoicism is the better approach rather that pure ignorance.

Living in ignorance and seeking to learn nothing is just fueling the dystopian world we're walking into.

The most content people in the world are people who know everything there is to know about physics, philosophy, chemistry etc. That deep knowledge opens their eyes to the big picture.

Ignore the news, but learn everything there is to know about humanity.

I don't know if this is the best way to be, but it works remarkably well!

I would say it's more about sifting out the wheat from the chaff. Sturgeon's Law [1] is very applicable.

Well, there are some things you really ought to care about (health, friendships, etc.), otherwise you won’t have much of a reason to live.

Yeah, make that not caring about bad stuff then :)
