For some of us, our minds race, imagining ourselves there, what would we do? Measure the distance probably, decide if we're safe. We hope no action is required. If we're far enough away, we hope to decide we can go about our lives. This is not about us.
That a static measuring tool reassures us about a kinetic event is a hint about the kind of denial we're in. Too many people unconcerned about walls that are closing in, preferring to see it is a problem only for those closer to the walls. It fuels in our society a love of politicians willing to tell us that this will not affect us. No wonder alternative facts are so appealing.
If we can just be left alone to get through our own lives, surely it can be seen to be someone else's problem.
