I am not sure why, but many people (news / media outlets?) love end of world scenarios.

too often pessimists are treated as serious, critical thinkers, while optimists are dismissed as naive or foolish.

remember this guy Michael Burry who saw the 2008 housing crash coming, bet everything against it, and made a fortune?

but then he spent the next 15 years trying to pull off the exact same trick, lost a ton of money fighting a massive bull market, and finally had to shut down his hedge fund because lightning just wouldn't strike twice.

how I deal with this: focus on what you can control. reading news in general seems to be difficult. what can I personally do about all that? very little tbh.

Thanks a bunch, this is really nice advice! Jobs would come and go, One should focus on building skills (the thing we can control!)
