Can't even fucking talk to any of my various therapists about this shit. No I can't just "not think about stuff I can't control". I'm autistic, have severe general anxiety, and pretty bad ADHD that medication only marginally helps. I've already improved immensely and stopped worrying about most things.

Except this one.

I organize too don't tell me to do that

Also texts about revolutionary optimism didn't help either. All that shit was a hundred years ago in a completely different state of world

    I have found that learning about appropriate technology meets these criteria for me.

    Reading about how we can (and in some cases did) produce food, clean water, shelter, heat, lighting, and clothing using just the available resources in the proximate environment is something that makes me feel more capable, makes the means of production seem much more within reach, makes capital-ization seem rather silly and less feasible, makes democratized resistance seem possible, and makes me confident that we have more than enough technology and resources to assure a decent quality of life for 8 billion human beings.
