Conspiracy theorists and true doomers are wiling (image example) because they think the severity of the recent CME (g4) vs what was predicted (g1) indicates Earth’s magnetic field is super weak and a flip flop of poles imminent

An interesting twist on “we are going to lose power forever” except not via Carrington Event means

It’s kind of a nothing burger to me

True doomers are people who can see the end times in ANYTHING 

A vanilla doomer is just a pessimist 

Balaji is the midpoint between the two

I am definitely some flavor of vanilla doomer but reject the exaggerated statements of someone like Balaji. It seems like midpoint and above actively desire bad outcomes; see catastrophe in everything and I do not.  

So like on 1-10 scale with Balaji at 5 I am like a 2 or 3 lol

This scale doesn’t reflect optimists though and so I need to ponder how to accommodate them 

There are people who see the good in everything just as there are the opposite

Wouldn't say Balaji is doomer unless you consider US to be the entire world. He's bearish on America's direction but bullish on other parts of the world.

So he's not a fundamental doomer imo. Anyone with a bio like this doesn't belong on the doomer scale haha

That’s a fair point! I think for the sake of this scale I’m developing I will say “makes negative, pessimistic and often hyperbolic statements about any issue 

Like how many of his posts are positive vs “America’s dying. Love to see it!”
