Calling out doomerism as some kind of unrealistic disaster thinking is a pretty shallow understanding of the modern world and how much anti-fragility as been removed from different societies.

The world from the 90s till now has been one of rather open trade and exchange of energies like fuel. In that time the population has grown by at least 3 billion people. Billions of us depend on fuel being available every day or a countdown until there is no water or food starts. That fuel system is dependent on power being available to run things like pumps.

>doomerist beliefs a million times before finally being right.

Because you get zero chances of being wrong. Eventually humanities time will be up. I would rather that be millions of years from now rather than a few years because we collapsed under our own hubris.
