If the knowledge of our problems prevents you from appreciating and finding any wonder in life and the larger universe, you have been defeated long before any of the actual threats have gotten to you.

I hope you find something that gives you joy or inspiration or a sense of grandeur in at least something. If it wasn't for science we wouldn't know about 2 out of three of those things, so maybe think how well your message is going to go over with people who are already aware of all that and just trying to find something greater in life than the perpetual, life altering struggles we've been dealing with and surviving for the last 200,000 years.

I am able to find joy in science and life in general. I will state it in a different way: this is not something the average person needs to worry/think about, unless they are interested themselves.

The original tweet (or whatever this is) has the same energy to me as "are we just gonna ignore ?". For people who are interested: they are likely already aware; for people who are not interested: it's safe to ignore it.
