I feel like you didn't read the Stoics. Start here:
Worrying about shit outside of your control is not just unproductive, it's counterproductive as it's distracting you from stuff that actually is in your control.
Rationalizing fears, justifying inaction. It’s too late, there’s nothing we can do. If your reaction to climate and collapse is to do nothing, you are part of the problem. Learn about overshoot and aerosol demasking. Read Limits to Growth and get back to me.
Where exactly did I advocate to do nothing?
Do something. Do nothing. Worry, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter. Collapse is inevitable.
