The world keeps getting saved and you don't notice.

Nothing groundbreaking, just something people forget constantly, and I'm writing it down so I don't have to re-explain it from scratch.

The world does not just keep working.

It keeps getting saved.

Y2K was a real problem.

Computers really were set up in a way that could have broken out infrastructure, including banking, medical supply chains, etc.

It didn't turn into a disaster because people spent many human lifetimes of working hours fixing it.

The collapse did not happen, yes, but it's not a reason to think less of the people who warned Abbott it.

On the contrary.

nothing dramatic happened because they made sure it wouldn't.

When someone looks back at this and says the problem was overblown, they're doing something weird.

They're looking at a thing that was prevented and concluding it was never real.

Someone on Twitter once asked where the problem of the ozone hole had gone, in bad faith, implying that it, and other climate problems, never really existed.

Hank Green explained it beautifully.

You don't hear about it anymore because it's being solved.

Scientists explained the problem to everyone and found ways to counter it.

Countries cooperated, companies changed how they produce things.

Thousands of people work for it, and they are winning.
