’One metaphor for my headspace is that it feels as though the world is a set of people on a plane blasting down the runway:
And every time I read commentary on what’s going on in the world, people are discussing how to arrange your seatbelt as comfortably as possible given that wearing one is part of life, or saying how the best moments in life are sitting with your family and watching the white lines whooshing by, or arguing about whose fault it is that there’s a background roar making it hard to hear each other.
I don’t know where we’re actually heading, or what we can do about it. But I feel pretty solid in saying that we as a civilization are not ready for what’s coming, and we need to start by taking it more seriously.′ (Holden Karnofsky)
