I think you're right to be sad about it, and I would add "deeply concerned" as well. Our society is at a point where the most dangerous risks are ones that the human mind is pretty bad at reasoning about. That's a big problem, to put it mildly.
Climate change, nuclear weapons, bio threats, and runaway AI all pose immense risks, at scales that are hard to reason about intuitively. Hopefully we develop ways to better manage current and future risks before a big one blows up.
