Decisio Binaria Nuntiorum

(Binary News Decision, made)

Dosage	One (1) decision per day — either 30 minutes of news, fully engaged, or zero news, phone off
Frequency	Daily
Duration	Permanent
Refills	0 — the middle state is, apparently, the cost

Side effects May include the specific discomfort of committing to either knowing or not knowing, the phantom urge to 'just glance,' and — by week two — the observation that semi-informed dread was, apparently, more exhausting than either alternative.

What is this?

Decisio Binaria Nuntiorum is part of the Institute Pharmacy's formulary of satirical prescriptions. Everything on this slip is fictional except the behavior it addresses. A real pharmacist, handed this slip, would decline to fill it. Patients are invited to fill it themselves.

Patients know it in practice as Binary News Decision, made — the Latin is ceremonial; the English form is what they actually execute.
