I feel like fear of nuclear war and superbugs continues to be extremely valid. We fixed the ozone hole and Y2K because people raised the concern!

In my life there's been the fear of nuclear war, overpopulation, the ozone hole, Y2K, superbugs, global warming, AI, and more. I literally don't remember a time when there weren't widespread fears of some apocalypse. Yes, some were concerning, but humans tend to catastrophize.
