If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Take a second and think before posting the easy Eeyore reply. You might have something substantive to say instead. Or, even better, you can say nothing at all.

I want to emphasize the point about "contagion" — doomerism is contagious. So is courage, honesty, determination, etc. Spread the things we actually NEED to fight this. Better yet, DO THINGS to fight this and share *those* things. The power of that cannot be overstated.
