When i was younger i had a brief hyperfixation on radiation and nuclear war movies made during the 80's cold war times but it was brief because after like a week of it i got so viscerally depressed that i had to make myself stop engaging with it and i also have a deep fear of radiation poisoning tho i wouldnt pinpoint the start of it to THAT moment i'd always been scared of it but yeah. But anyways my response to it now at the moment is to learn about nuclear power and learn all the ways it is done safely and the benefits it can provide :-) this doesnt stop the fear of radiation posioning and worse case scenarios obviously but i still like to learn about stuff because if you don't know about it its easy to jump to the worst conclusions to fear about it. Radiation in general is very feared by the populace so i wanna know about it so i dont be afraid of common misconceptions i might take as fact. Also energy is very cool to me i have considered working in the field before whether its wind or solar or electrical pylons hehe
#Someday i'll have to do this with bugs to help soothe my debilitating phobia of them#But anyways radiation... im learning its not inherently bad like u have natural background radiation#And radiation from eating bananas#Like thats literally fine#Also nuclear power produces WAYYY less waste than coal and oil like extreme magnitudes less#And the waste isnt all like radioactive harmful waste#Ppl might say its still bad bc radiation is scary and thats understandable#But coal and oil produces more harm in the current time with less energy output#And green solutions need infrastructure and materials to be built#But i think like literally all harm from all energy sources is either directly caused or exacerbated by capitalism#I would learn abt nuclear energy accidents when i was younger and SO MANY were caused#By capitalist corner cutting and mismanagement
