Comment on What infuriates me most is that this actually works on some people.

Maybe humans go extinct, maybe they don’t, I never made any claims about it. But that your worrying makes no difference to nature and systems bigger than your individual control. I prescribe hope instead of gloom for reasons of self preservation.

You sure implied we won’t go extinct:

I’m still optimistic about humans doing alright in the long run, afterall we’ve survived so far and our ancestors have gone through much much worse.

And sorry, telling me not to worry when I am over in the UK with my daughter to keep her safe from the queer genocide in America, but no job yet and slowly dwindling savings, and my wife is still over in the U.S. and I have no idea if I can bring her over and my daughter herself can only legally stay here for six months unless I make over £28,000 a year and I can’t get her the medication she needs over here, so I can only hope that my wife can get and send it in time… you don’t know shit about what I’m going through. If I didn’t worry about all of that, I wouldn’t have even left the U.S. to protect her.

  Hugs to you. I’ve migrated once but that was 2 decades ago. Now I have family & teenagers who I can’t up & move easily and who still look forward to a future in America. I worry too.
