No matter what one can actually do in their individual situation; a rational, objective, and calm analysis can help one find their way to effective action.</p><p>I'd like to highlight the idea of <a href="https://dailystoic.com/what-is-stoicism-a-definition-3-stoic-exercises-to-get-you-started/#premeditatio-malorum" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">premeditatio malorum</a> and practising misfortune in <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stoicism</span></a>. <em>Especially</em>, maybe counter-intuitively, to anyone who reacts with anxiety and/or anger to Jan's post, or "the state of the world in general".</p><p>Stoicism isn't a one-size-fits-all pseudo-religuous solution to all problems for everyone, far from it, but I can whole-heartedly recommend reading up on its ideas, and see how it fits into one's mental model.</p><p>Anger turned into spite is a powerful motivator. Anxiety tempered by focus and objectivity is unstoppable.</p><p>Resist accepting defeat prematurely, while you still can.</p>
