    I’m not worried about this specific apocalypse, if only because there is literally nothing that can be done to prevent it nor stop it if it starts.

    I’m far more worried about more localized, preventable, human-caused apocalypse like climate or nuclear war.

      Also, we won’t see it coming and won’t feel it happen. As far as deaths go, it’s about as easy as it gets.

      Exactly. Same energy as worrying about Earth being hit by a gamma ray burst - 🤷‍♂️

      I would be very glad if it was something only destructive to humans, and not the planet(s ecosystems).

        The dowvotes signal a trend against misanthropy, which is the only logical conclusion.

        Let me test this theory: We are a virus. An STD that is always lethal and should be eradicated for the planet’s good.

        But also let me quote Dostoyevsky to end my point positively:

        “I have seen the truth; I have seen and I know that people can be beautiful and happy. … I will not and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind.”
