One last clarification I’d want to add is just the distinction between uncertainty and cluelessness. There’s immense uncertainty about the future: many different possibilities, varying in valence from very good to very bad. But appreciating that uncertainty is compatible with having (very) confident views about whether the continuation of humanity is good or bad in expectation, and thus not being utterly “clueless” about how the various prospects balance out.
No worries at all (and best wishes to you too!).
