Self-Knowledge Question #25: I Will Face My Fear

[ng_moonmoth]

Initial post on what I'm doing here.

25. What is your greatest fear?

That we will not be able to rein in the accelerating environmental catastrophe our species' activities have initiated and driven before it consumes us, and with it so very much of the knowledge so dearly won over millennia, and the cultures that produced the time for exploration and reflection to produce that knowledge. If that happens, it will be a long and hard road before whoever survives the onslaught can more than imagine those heights. Every other threat I see seems tiny in comparison.

But also see my earlier answer.

That's not my greatest fear because my biggest ones are much more narrow in scope (my parents getting old and infirm, my daughters dying, etc.) but it's certainly in the top 3.
