If doom is certain, then what does your composure or anything else matter?
- JoshuaDavid 3y agoIf nothing matters, in what sense is panic the "correct" response? Also, it's useful to check whether you're absolutely doomed to lose everything you value, or only probably doomed to lose most of the things that you value, in situations where you appear to be doomed. I don't think a panic response is generally helpful towards the goal of "make the best you can of a bad situation".
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoyour chances of survival increase if you're not panicking. This is well understood by everyone and only needs to be said because you feel the need to ask 20 questions in an attempt to imply there's a fault to the thinking (because you can't outright say it or the jig would be up).
