I disagree. People just have bigger things to worry about, like their livelihoods. If you don’t know where your next paycheck comes from, you don’t have the capacity to care about such abstract issues like the current privacy struggles.

The fear of death is kind of an evolutional necessity. Otherwise our species wouldn’t have survived. Without the fear of death we probably wouldn’t be here. In some ways it’s a crucial companion of existence. idk why, but seeing it as a condition of existence helps me put it in perspective. Like being alive is great and I guess this is the price I have to pay. Most of the time it’s worth it.
