How fucked are we? (Poll)

[jfz9580m]

39. Don't know

Given my lousy record with polls since my attempt to reinvent myself as a bullish cheerleader in the last few weeks (after I felt that a Vance-Trump presidency would be unendurable hell and goddamn it if I believed hard enough and felt it in my gut that Harris could win), I am abstaining from polls..

I guess we shouldn’t try things we know we are not very good at. I will revert to gloomy watchfulness..That was my main mode back when my username was nam78_two.

I got badly burnt out in 2011 and since then I wasn’t able to think clearly a lot.

At least this horrible, horrible election seems to have jolted me back to reality. I feel like I used to prior to 2010 (which was around when I started feeling more and more out of depth and burning out. Far from unusual in PhDs. I have been fortunate in having good mentors and colleagues throughout but eh..science research is hard. Hey another reason for Trump to dismantle education entirely!).

I mean I don’t think we are not in trouble. Pretty fucked I would think but as I said, since I am clearly shit at predictions of this sort anyway I am gonna quit

I shall go drown myself work now. I shall be back off and on to commiserate with everyone ;-/ .

Now that the very worst has happened at least there is no more uncertainty. They say humans deal worse with uncertainty than disaster.
