Hah! Yeah, stepping back, I think these events are a distraction for most people. Especially if they worsen one’s mental health. For me, reflecting on the war makes me feel so grateful and lucky to live where I do.
Another reason to pay attention is when it seems like it could shortly and sharply affect the chances of catastrophe. At the beginning of the war, I kept asking myself, “At what probability of nuclear war should I: make a plan, consider switching jobs, move to Argentina, etc.” But I think we’ve moved out of the scary zone for a while.
