I’ve had so many experiences over the past year where I’m talking to normies and they literally have no idea how much the world is about to change. Or I’ll be hanging out with someone and they randomly mention something like “oh yeah, [insert place] is definitely gonna be underwater in 2100 because of climate change” and I sort of just stand around awkwardly because I don’t know how to respond. Does anyone have any stories based on your own interactions that really illustrate just how oblivious the general public is right now?
