Also. I cannot handle the doomerism. Folks looking for stuff to go “oh god, it’s bad, it’s so bad, we’re so very fucked” all the time and scaring themselves witless with numbers and passing round scary looking graphs with all the context removed, just numbers going up or down, no meaning, nothing to divine from or work with, no relationship to people’s experiences.
I know normal people don’t spend 20 odd years thinking about the stuff I do and fair enough but *I can’t live like that*.
