Every once in a while it's good to notice how fragile everything is and appreciate the fact that your life still hasn't been torn apart by entropy.

Most of the time it's better to pretend that everything is robust and permanent so you don't stress about it.

That's balance.

@viTekiM our society is massively inefficient. I can eat grapes grown in chili and shipped to new england because of massive brute force use of energy, but the supply chains could stop working at any minute.

@viTekiM on the other hand, because we're so inefficient there should be a lot of fat (figurative and literal) to cut when the lean times come.
