Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
When looking around at the world today all the global warming, global wars, global poxes. It’s important to remember it’s going to be okay.
Not everything is going to be okay of course a lot of things are most definitely not going to be okay. People are getting hurt out there but some things. Things you might not even have thought of as important before realizing hey! That’s not broken yet. That’s going to be okay.
While waiting for the next terrible thing to happen, whatever that next terrible thing is, remember the old saying, it doesn’t matter which old saying, I don’t even know any, just pick one. Do you remember when we used to joke about monkeypox on the show because it was a funny-sounding obscure improbable thing that could never really have a global impact til now, and now we’re out of terrible guesses, that was the last one…
In fact, never mind the “it’s going to be okay”, and old sayings, that sort of thinking never works itself out the way you want it to instead consider what it is you can do to get involved in solutions life goes by faster than you think it will. Now is the moment in which you can do things, so go do them and make an impact some solutions might require science, so go be a scientist!
Others might require legal action, so go be a lawyer!
Some solutions may require you to do work for a noble non-profit cause so pick one, and if the noble cause you fall in love with isn’t out there, start it.
And no matter what the world throws at us next you will be ready for it because thank goodness for you!
