You may have avoided it in your reply to me, but the comment I replied to of yours clearly suggests people disengage from understanding what is going on around them, rather than learn how to extract value from unreliable sources.
I'm not sure precisely what you're referring to. I recommended reading Wikipedia for less-sensationalist summaries rather than watching videos designed to anger, and specifically said that I believe this will leave you better informed, not uninformed.
I said to disengage from the things that are designed to addict you to outrage and to instead engage with things that are designed to keep you informed. If you interpret this as "disengage from understanding what is going on around them", well, sorry, but the last paragraph of my original comment is talking about you.
There’s not actually a way to stay engaged while also disengaging with content that upsets you, so no, do not go hang out with friends or build things when you get upset.
