I don't really understand the 'doomer' debate, that is to say complaining about negative news when the world in fact is facing enormous negative events.

It seems to me sort of like the 'three-wise-monkeys', just think happy thoughts and the world gets better or something. It seems infantile. I don't see how you can fix problems if you aren't willing to in the first place look at them, as we've seen in this pandemic the virus doesn't care how optimistic you are.

The prevailing opinion these days seems to be that people are too negative, honestly looking at the world in sober fashion I think most people are probably not scared enough.
