#Humans are #biologically, #evolutionarily, inclined to be pessimistic and fearful, thus making thoughts of #dystopic futures much more appealing and easier to accept.

It's better to expect the worse and be wrong, than to be optimistic and be wrong, is our default.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation requires hope, and a belief that we can achieve a much better outcome than what we have now, and where we're headed.

@rebeccasear "#Cats have nailed this one thing so well that they all do it and just come up with slightly different sizes. That’s why they’re perfect, #evolutionarily. They don’t need variation. They might get bigger or smaller, but they don’t change anything else because they’re doing it just right otherwise. They’re not jacks-of-all-trades; they’re masters of one."
