Reply to comment by 491010 in A new UN report explores how to make human civilization safe from destruction. There’s a way to make civilization extinction-proof. But it won’t be easy. by mossadnik

I agree, but I think this facilitates one of our strengths as well. Humans are incredibly good at adapting to drastic changes in environments. My thought is that even though our horrible habit of pushing existential events off is repugnant, we’ve also developed a habit of being really good at finishing an assignment right before midnight. We are master procrastinators with ADHD, if you will.
