Hold on to your butts, comrades. We're about to get a preview of 2050. I just checked the live data, and the area off the coast of South America that is the index water for ENSO is 9° F above average in places. This is going to be a wild year.

For a lot of people, I do. I think many people like this are ultimately buried in their cultural context, and never had an event breaking them out of that mould / making them question what are for them basic assumptions about reality.

I used to think this also, and then I saw huge numbers of people dying of COVID while still insisting it wasn't a real disease. Now I'm not so sure.

I saw the same testimonies; but huge numbers of people, I'm not sure. Even most of the antivaxx people ended up terrified asking (too late) for the vaccine while dying I suspect (at least I saw just as many testimonies like this than like the first ones).
