what’s your biggest fear, not like spiders or heights, the real one

mine’s dying without ever actually making it, like looking back one day and feeling like i failed at life overall

curious what everyone else actually carries around …

    Yeah, I believe life has survived worse. The pandemic showed that things recover surprisingly quickly once you eliminate people.

    It may even be more possible than science believes for us to recover if we really put effort into it. However, it is far less possible that we’ll put any real effort into it before irreversibly catastrophic consequences start happening.

      Oh yes, sadly we have been on a crash course for a long while now, and I do not believe we will correct it either. We should obviously not stop trying, but personally I lost hope, when people around me did not care at all, when I learned about the climate change in the early 2000s, and got really into protecting the environment and all. But I do find some solace in the thought, that life continues, even when we do not.
