That is a very good point.

I think that's why we are seeing such an epidemic of depression. Hope is a powerless condition and powerlessness leads to depression. Depression is usually rage turned inward because of feelings of powerlessness to internal and external conditions.

We were trained in times of public health disaster to plan and find the edge of the wedge we could control. Then plan to take more ground back. I think the spit tests thrice weekly to stay open are a scathingly brilliant idea and as long as I was young and healthy and vaccinated I'd be all in!

I struggled a lot with depression, anxiety and hopelessness as things kept spiralling out of control. I'm sure that can be said of most of us over the past couple years. My darkest points were when I couldn't see a way out and lost hope. Gimme a little shred of hope and I can hang on.

She's fine with the saliva test, it's the PCR nasal swab test she didn't want to do again. I did it once and I hope I never have to do it again.

Of course we are all human and we all have feelings. That's the point of the neocortex. It allows humans to make decisions from a locus of facts vs feelings. It allows us to act contrary to our emotions. It allows us to short circuit reflex.

What eventual monkey wrench? There is no inevitable monkey wrench. That's the argument that gets you to quit before starting. There will be challenges. You meet them. You change your plan of action. You change the ground you take and you keep moving.

The reason humans are the apex predators on this planet is because of our neocortex. We are puzzle solvers. We evolve and in that evolution is our future.
