Our survival as a species depends on individuals being keenly attuned to danger. We see sinister things in shadows and catastrophe lurking behind every corner.
Reading some stories here on Medium can be a serious downer. I know the author means well, but here’s a sample of stories I myself have written recently predicting the imminent end of days:
- America will be done in by its runaway debt;
- If we somehow survive the debt crisis, we’re going to lose everything to weaponized AI in the hands of government actors;
- If we’re a little patient, we’ll be drowned by rising sea levels shortly before the ocean boils away and we’re all cooked to death;
- And if we somehow survive all that, we’re still doomed because no one wants to work anymore.
