I understand and emphasise with you. The possibility of doom can cause paralysing fear. But it can also free us, shedding all pretense, awakening us to focus on what truly matters without wasting time, and reigniting the love for life. And the love of life seems like a better motivator for working on x-risks than the fear of death. Movies where characters rediscover life after a terminal diagnosis like Living (2022) and songs/poems like this (content warning: some nudity) inspire me to reframe the possibility of doom and death in this way.
