Don't Look Up

This movie is depressing

Honestly, it makes me feel more at peace about our likely demise. I rewatch it when I'm feeling especially pessimistic.

Is this like when you got a score of 255 in and old video game and it loops back 'round to 0?

Are you asking if it's so depressing that it becomes uplifting? Not exactly what I meant. The message of the movie is that we're all in this together. Of course we should be doing everything possible to minimize climate change, but when shit hits the fan, you can either hoard money, guns and food, or you can be present with the people who really matter.

I live in a city that was (rightfully) torn apart after George Floyd was murdered. I suddenly became afraid of my neighbors. Who could I trust? How would I protect my family? Would I be forced to choose between protecting my parents and protecting my partner and my dogs? How would I protect my food and valuables? Would I have to get a gun?

That last question snapped me out of my delusion. I refuse to be controlled by fear. When things get bad, I will not be someone who slams the door on my neighbors. I won't fucking shoot someone because they need food and I have food. I will share what I have and we'll work together.
