> not only is the negative pursuit a nightmare to work on by itself, but introducing the positive pursuit will be a psychological distraction

You can’t distract someone who isn’t in the room. I’ll admit to tuning out a lot of climate catastrophism because it just doesn’t hold my attention. I know the outlines of the situation; it doesn’t strike me as productive to obsess over it. (Or more accurately, it isn’t fun.)

> we love feel-good stories and gravitate to them

There are people who like feel-good stories and people who like catastrophism. I’m arguing you’re never competing for one against the other.

It isn’t a coïncidence that the feel-good sectors of the climate movement, EVs and solar energy, have so much overlap with space start-ups.
