The author reflects on humanity's dire situation, feeling overwhelmed by the continuous flow of grim news about our impending doom. After just half an hour of reading, the weight of it all feels unbearable, leading to a sense of despair similar to that faced by the dinosaurs before their extinction. The constant barrage of information highlights our struggles and failures, creating a vivid and painful narrative of decline.

In contrast to the dinosaurs, who remained unaware of their fate, we are keenly aware of the challenges we face, and this knowledge may exacerbate our suffering. The author suggests that ignorance might have been a more peaceful state, as it would shelter one from the harsh reality of extinction. The commentary serves as a poignant reminder of the burdens that come with awareness in a time of crisis.
