  I think it’s simply that modern life is too far removed from what our instincts evolved to handle… A shitty life or death situation is something we’re more equipped to handle (at least in our imagination) than societal problems so big that are effectively impossible for us to influence.

    I guess a possible part of the solution could be breaking these problems down into manageable chunks?

    “Think globally, act locally”, as they say… and “locally” doesn’t have to be a physical locale. It can be a fedi instance or a niche group of some kind.

      Sure, we do all sorts of things to function in modern society, doesn’t necessarily make it easy, or make escapism less attractive

        True, although I meant making steps towards making it easier for everyone.
