Just the opposite. I was deliberately hunting something trivial to avoid rumination on some of the tired older concerns.

Rumination: When Your Thoughts Don’t Have an Off Button​

What is rumination?​

Rumination occurs when you have constant and repetitive thoughts about something; typically, a problem or situation.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, rumination is defined as “obsessive thinking about an idea, situation, or choice especially when it interferes with normal mental functioning.”
