It’s the same thing with Covid. People thought 1 in 10 people would be dead. And believed it for years, despite it being orders and orders of magnitude wrong.

Humans love a good end-of-world story. Always did, always will. It’s when they want the world to conform to their ungrounded irrational bat-shit crazy nonsense that I get a worried. Especially when people in power actually take their nonsense seriously.
