I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers

    Being the history nerd I am, I tell myself that this has happened before. Think of the Bronze Age Collapse or the Fall of Rome. For people who lived back then, it probably felt like the end of the world. But after many generations, they still managed to rebuild. I must keep going in order to document as much history as possible for future generations in the case that humanity survives all this crazy shit that is going on.

      We still don’t really know what caused the Bronze Age Collapse, just that it happened and that we survived it, though it took several centuries to rebuild. The Fall of Rome happened so slowly that it was nearly invisible. Hell, there are still a few countries out there claiming the “Emporer” title and all are valid successors of the title.

      This thing that is happening now is different. We know what’s causing it. We know how to stop it, we’re just not. And it’s coming at us. Super fast. Who knows if we will survive this?
