@johnzajac Makes sense, but quite daunting ... yet some of us do get it (none completely, self included) and see through the manipulation: I wonder what makes the difference.
Also I think that "futility bias" you mention is an example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Conflict_of_Visions#The_constrained_vision
Here's to turning the tide!

@johnzajac Agree and I'm curious how you would teach and have impact. The counter-factual (ignoring the Y2K threat) is hard for most people or they don't care. I think had Y2K followed 9/11 the same effort wouldn't have materialized because with fear many just give up.
