@flowerpot @holyramenempire @passenger There are three types of doomerism:
1) "We're all fucked and there's nothing anybody can do about it."
2) "We're all fucked unless we do <x>, but let's be real, it's not going to happen."
3) "We're all fucked unless we do <x>, so let's get off our asses and do <x> before it's too late."
I'm not advocating for (1). I'm personally guilty of (2) sometimes but I don't recommend it as the right approach for influencing people. What I'm advocating here is (3).
