Is the world ending?

This isn’t a fear porn podcast, here a list of times the “world was ending” yet here we are. Humans are like roaches and can survive in a multitude of situations and events.

LIST OF TIMES THE WORLD WAS ENDING:

Tambora Eruption (1815): The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia caused the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, resulting in crop failures, food shortages, and extreme weather worldwide. Estimated 11k deaths from blast and 100k deaths from food shortages
People thought the world would end when the Mayan calendar "ended" on December 21, 2012.
Y2K
Some worried that the Large Hadron Collider could create a black hole that would destroy the world when it opened in 2008
Black plague
World Wars, 911, nuclear plant explosions.

So what the fuck are we actually preparing for?

Disruptions in supply chains, pandemics, civil unrest, economic downturns, layoffs. Shit happens and now we’ve seen it

Making rational decision when living in fear.

Lerner, J. S., & Keltner, D. (2001). Fear, anger, and risk. Journal of personality and social psychology, 81(1), 146-159.

This study explores how different emotions, including fear, can influence risk perception and decision-making. It suggests that fear may lead to a heightened sensitivity to potential risks.

Amygdala hijack: This odd-sounding name is not a medical diagnosis, but rather, a term for times when the amygdala is overwhelmed by stress and takes over the brain's response to the situation. Remember that a major function of the amygdala is to process fear and anxiety. When the amygdala “hijacks” the brain, the frontal lobes (the logic centers) are unable to override it with a rational response. (WebMD)
