Ah man, finally someone names it. Jannik I couldn't agree more - too much fearmongering and not enough fearquestioning or curiosity.
I shared an adjacent take on LinkedIn yesterday that I think applies here.
Once we step out of the SF emotional echo chamber, it becomes easier to see beyond the sci-fi doom and marketing stunts to focus on the real conversation -- our structural resource problem.
To take it one step further though, I'm not sure it's the SF folks who need a hug -- might be the media, driven by their ever-present mandate of 'giving the people what they want'."
....but then—OK, I take it back. It's the people who need a hug.
@DanielPriestley Best way to invest your time...family, friends, and building artistic or entrepreneurial capital that inspires, provokes or enhances society and/or pushes you to explore + explode the limits of your humanity and self-expression.
