Walking around in pure terror is one option, but is probably more media inspired than reality based.
You could also be optimistic in the face of the future. We are here because of a long line of good fortune and optimism, despite war, disease, famine. The human race has really faced some incredible odds. And technology while an accelerant for destruction could also be our liberator. Solve energy problems, get us off this planet, etc..
I think instilling that optimism in your kids is most important.

- psiconaut 6y agothis reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by deleuze: "There's no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons." I guess we can also translate as tools, given the techno-solucionist atmosphere ;)
- CalRobert 6y agoSure, tools. But given billions of desperate hungry people weapons may be apt.
