It’s actually a very good thing! It’s an extension of creativity, which has been one of humanities’ greatest assets throughout history. Being able to think up a wide number of possibilities of ways to respond to the world is super helpful, but you do have to have a good sense of which ones are bad, and very few are nearly this obvious.
I feel like it’s actually less developed areas that are getting hit the hardest by this kind of thing. The fossil-fuel ridden cities can just burn more to crank the AC up. It’s a perverse irony and digging the hole deeper, but if this was fundamentally the kind of problem where the people doing it faced the most direct consequences, this situation would never have devolved this far.
As a nurse I can do pretty much everything a chiropractor can that’s not horribly unsafe and unproven. I can advise on diet, exercise and herbal supplements, I can massage muscles and help someone stretch through range of motion. I even know how to use a fucking TENS/EMS device, and I could probably get certified in acupuncture if I wanted. The only thing I don’t do that a chiropractor does is sever spines and snap necks, and if that’s all they managed to learn with all that extra school they can keep it, lol.
TLDR; all the “doctor” shit they do is actually nurse shit and everything else is assault and battery.
War. Coal mine. Oil rig. None of which should even exist IMO, but that’s a different debate. I’ll respect somebody wanting that lifestyle even if idgi at all but there’s a buuuunch of people out there wanting a partner to do all the trad shit while they do fuckall trad shit. And the modern stuff they’re doing is always all the worst and least fun. They’re exactly the kind of people that would die of a diet-related illness despite never having looked at a spice rack.
…I have only the vaguest understanding of why this is important or how much, other than I really don’t want him to not face consequences or god forbid wind up in office again. Like are they actually going to send him to prison? If they do send him to prison, are the alt-right insane enough to try to spring him? Does this make it easier or harder to discipline politicians in the future? What is the weirdness I keep hearing about various judges being on or not on his side or is that a different thing?
Honestly more than keep me constantly anxious the 24h news cycle mostly just keeps me constantly disoriented. I can never keep any of these stories straight or remember which ones do affect each other.

Not sure how math/logic factors into this for you but the impossibility of proving a negative seems to apply here. It’s one of the basic bits of logic I teach patients (at least when they ask about reality testing, which is rare). I tell them it’s pretty near impossible to prove something doesn’t exist or didn’t happen, and that I find the best thing is to focus on what was most likely. It’s very rare I don’t find a very mundane reason for pretty much everything, and the few things I can’t there’s pretty much nothing I can do about anyway.
