But you are accepting emotional stress (you said so yourself . . . a hint ) and embracing something that is not there, except perhaps in your mind. The certitude that we are about to murder mankind and the planet's other lovely creatures is just not backed up by science.
Accept and embrace the risk. There is no certitude involved. My point is that the risk is non-trivial, and the cost of failure is unimaginably high. As to stress, managed and directed stress is not necessarily a bad thing.
Are you trying to ruin my day? Because if you are, you have failed.
I'm ambivalent with regard to your day. Not really any of my business. I'm only interested in discussing the ideas involved.
