I hope they ended up with miserable lives. But I don’t know.

Probably for the best. Most of us die if there is a nuclear war, so just don’t even think about it. But live your life now.

I don’t think the world can prioritize something and the threat will go away.

I’m thinking I have 20 more years of being in working condition, so I’m planning to work less and travel more from next year already. Using my savings.

I don’t dare to wait until I’m 65 to do all those things. Many people get sick and don’t do anything.

You are describing me. :)

And yeah, I’m happy with my timeline. If anything, I would move it back even more. Born in the 60s would open up for a lot of cool stuff in the 70s.

I think maybe those words are true, but they are so generic they don’t say anything to me.

I think women has changed due to social media, and that’s causing the men loneliness.

Social media changed dating, and made it ok for both women and men to treat eachother as commodities, resources, status symbols.

This bleeds over in real life, where women don’t need/want to have relationships with men anymore (in real life) in the west (outside of their love relationship). They already get all the attention they need from hundreds of men on social media telling them they are beautiful.

A lot of western guys go for girls in Indonesia or Thailand these days, because they are kind and beautiful. Of course the girls see the opportunity to be with a guy from the west who has money. But it seems to work out. Both genders are often happy in those relationships, both get what they value from it.

People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.

When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

That was 1990. :)

I meant the need to be protected by men.

I don’t know where that comes from. Emotionally repressed? I agree men doesn’t need to be emotionally repressed.

It makes sense that the physically stronger gender becomes the protector, yes. Who else?

The perceived need you talk about was very real. Women would get raped or killed with no protection.

The bait and switch classic.
