A couple of things that might help, although this fear is probably deeply ingrained:
“Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If Death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not? Long time men lay oppressed with slavish fear. Religious tyranny did domineer. At length the mighty one of Greece Began to assent the liberty of man.”
- Epicurus
If there’s a God and they created such suffering, they would not be a God.
“God," says Epicurus, "either wants to remove evils, but cannot; or he can, but does not want to; or he does not want to and cannot; or he wants to and can. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent; which is inadmissible in God. If he can, but does not want to, he is envious; which is also alien to God. If he does not want to and cannot, then he is envious and impotent; and this too cannot be attributed to God. If he wants to and can, which alone is proper to God, then where do evils come from? Or why does he not remove them? — Lactantius, On the Wrath of God

I have been seeing this everywhere but I’ve also seen reports that she likely wasn’t even on the plane. Figuring this out might help.
I swim in creeks and rivers and the bubbly water is very difficult to swim in. Feels a bit like trying to swim in the air. I think carbonation would be similar.
Maybe… but now he’s just an old guy that paints and is a friend of Michelle Obama’s.
Banality of evil, man. :(

I used to listen to Alex Jones in the Bush Jr days. As a free-thinking liberal, I got sucked into his world because he seemed like a freedom fighter. Man, how things have changed. I can’t help but like Bush now. He seems like a good dude that got sucked into a world of terrible people.
Will Trump seem the same in 20 years? Just a bumbling idiot caught up with bad people? Nah, he’s been a con man forever.

1·2 months agoOf course not, but it’s not because he’s clowning around. It’s because he’s an insatiable narcissist that is social media fodder for deplorable people. Not really very clownish.

31·2 months agoWhy do people keep calling him a clown? Genuine question. I thought clowns were supposed to be funny or at least try to make people laugh. This guy is not a clown?

That’s exactly what I thought of when I read the post, but don’t recall this page being in The Selfish Gene. Worth a read, though! (Better than this trope).
Edit: Apparently from Susan Blackmore’s book, The Meme Machine.
