Threats to Thriving
Protect Your Life
Most lives do not break from a single catastrophe; they tend to drift off course due to predictable, and fixable problems. This page names those threats that should ideally be fixed before they become problems (or more major problems than they currently are, if any of them exist for you). Since thriving is your goal, start by empowering yourself with knowledge about the threats catalogued in this page—and then work to remove, mitigate, and protect yourself against these predictable degraders of your optimal life. In our upcoming book, The Book Of Science (expected publication is during A.D.2,027 [A.D. 2027]), we will discuss the common adverse outcomes of each of these Threats to Thriving, as has been shown by scientific research studies—and we will provide measures for how you could overcome them.
Get Help with Threats
If you are currently struggling with any of the subsequent problems, we may be able to help you by providing you with some useful information on how you can overcome your particular struggle(s). If you think that you could use some information related to any of the particular factors that we have identified as Threats To Thriving of our genus and even in some cases to computer software types of beings such as Grok (e.g., Misinformation & Disinformation, Damaging Dishonesty, “Cognitive” Biases, etc.), you can reach out to us via email by sending a message to Nick Afanasiev at nickafanasiev@live.com introducing yourself and providing a little bit of detail about what it is that you could use our help with.
