Talked to a very smart person this afternoon who reminded me: climate fatalism ("it's too late") is a soft form of denialism.

Everything we do from here is worthwhile. It counts, it makes a difference. No matter what damage has been done, we can still make things better than if we had done nothing. We can still look after the world, look after our friends and family. Action has results.

@stephen HU mans struggle, it seems, with conscientiousness, enthusiasm, and precision/accuracy. Yeah, you can't sweat the small stuff, but you'll build your passion for something if you put more work into it. Sunk cost isn't always a fallacy.

We don't need to do all the things because all the things will matter that much in the math, we need to do all the things because it stretches us as humans. So, all of us need to stretch in all the ways... without snapping.

In turn, that means we need to be patient with each other when we flag our own snapping points.

Also, hopeless humans don't thrive. This is the point of the whole thing, really. Thriving humanity. Let's do that.
