Insurance companies seem slightly over-represented here

These are relatively easy to find in Japan

Couldn’t tell you why but they are

Correct!

I don’t know if necessarily harder than the others but none of them were easy

Still you may be right on that point, too

But climate change is the first existencial crisis humanity has faced!!

Besides WW2…

And nuclear proliferation…

And the hole in the ozone…

And Industrial revolution pollution…

And overpopulation…

And leaded gasoline…

Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry

Idk what your society or definition of “insanity” is but assuming you’re asking what we believe most commonly leads to one’s mental health entering a negative feedback loop:

They’re happy, they own nothing and they don’t even know it

Different jobs are different

Sorry for rambling

Pretty sure it’s actually missing King Kong given the design of those buildings and plane
