Waiting for the book on Audible. Curious if it will address anxiety towards cascading risks from very separate fields and how there may be some complex interplay which helps some people. Obviously it may make things worse for some psychologically. For instance, I used to be stressed about the "impossibility" of infinity as a middle-schooler however when I lost faith in my simplified version of Christianity, the concept of infinity and the concept of "oneness" from some forms of Mahayana Buddhism comforted me. It's fascinating to watch the anxiety of existential risk from climate change be set against the incredible hype around the existential risk of general artificial intelligence. Recently, I cope by musing that perhaps an AI/machine/human hybrid future will better be able to align complex systems interests better than a human future alone and this hybrid future may make us more resilient as well. With this, I gain a sense of optimism and adventure for my 4 year old to explore this new wondrous world. I know its a biased techno-utopian perspective but it helps me sleep at night and we definitely have evidence that sleep is important for mental health. :)
Your book is absolutely great, thanks for doing all the research and writing it! As I live in Germany, I'd love to share it with my German friends who don't read English so well. Is there a German translation being planned? If so, when would it come out?
Really enjoying your book. It validates many feelings I have had for decades, and enables me to have conversations in new ways with community practitioners. I am letting my network know about your book. I am trained in the climate change science; communicating about more than the science is critical and helpful for others.
