This is a great essay and I find myself agreeing with a lot of it. I like how it fully accepts the possibility of doom while also being open to and prepared for other possibilities. I think becoming skilled at handling uncertainty, emotions, and cognitive biases and building self-awareness while trying to find the truth are all skills aspiring rationalists should aim to build and the essay demonstrates these skills.
