Animals as well. They suffer by the billions and we could just stop it if we would care.
I get the intent, but that’s an AWFUL lot of “what ifs”.

It’s one of my spouse’s favorite sayings when I’m in a spiral. “Pause for a minute, and let’s assume on the off chance society keeps going” and it brings me out of it. My therapist told me that once too, there are infinite possibilities between the best outcome and the worst, and probability says it will probably end up somewhere in between".
It’s easy on the internet to go full doomer, and to assume if it’s not the best case that it’s the worst, when really, it’s probably somewhere in between.
Love that balanced approach - prepping for challenges while not spiraling into doom is why I keep a power station around (check options on gearscouts.com for best $/Wh values) so I can feel prepared without letting anxiety take over completly.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
The reasoning of a child.
Says the person who felt a childish need to write such a comment 🤷
