you can say it's not happening here, like the cognitive therapist in that article in the guardian says, you can watch it happening in other countries, and say with uncertainty, yes but i will stay inside and remain neutral, it's not happening here, yet it's happening in seattle all the while, and down the block, but it's the human thing, the bicameral mind, to say it's not happening here. and that may be a kind of survival mode, but it won't protect you, it won't ensure you survive. all the while, the one, the oneness knows, as it is happening everywhere it is happening here. 
he says we may obsess over the numbers, the news, as a means of control by knowing. yet it's what we don't know we can't control, and that's uncertainty, and so we need to let go control, to be neutral and not act is if we know and have individual control. we have control of our individuality, our neutrality, we have this personal zone of uncertainty to look out from.
