4 Healthy Ways to Exit the Useless Fear Paradigm
Why I’m done with ‘We’re Screwed’ Headlines — They’re not Contributing to Anything
Our collective fear frenzy won’t help to solve climate change, economical collapse, species extinction, social inequality and polarization, flaring pandemics nor political corruption nor your neighbours congestion.
About 70% of the titles I read online on these topics I label as “despair” titles. We’re too late, hell is upon us, the meteorites are coming. Humanity vs Nature : 0–1.
We’re screwed.
Or people are simply blaming, scapegoating or public shaming others. The latest victim is Joe Rogan. Happily, he’s too big to cancel.
Blaming others for our own lack of fulfillment is avoiding taking responsibility for our actions. I do this too.
Why do we see everything as a war against something else? How childish. Wars create more problems, not solutions.
A war against climate change is the latest frenzy. Doesn’t help either. Probably it sells clicks since it tabs into emotional anxiety. People are walking around these days like open nervous systems and even a friendly smile will get them offended.
