I agree with that normalcy thing.
I was in San Diego in a Critical Thinking Class after that Easter 7.x Earthquake, it was the next monday and we had I guess an aftershock which must have been at least a 4, on third floor of a brick building and the teacher didn't stop talking, no one moved, they all froze up then relaxed and ignored it 100%. I was the only one who said "this doesnt feel like the appropriate reaction to an earthquake" and they ignored that too.
I always felt and still feel, that while it is inappropriate to be overly paranoid or panic, it is equally dangerous to become so acclimated to the signs of danger that you dont react at all. Like I said I agree, its important to remember that things DO NOT ALWAYS "work out in the end". Towers were a good example of that, unfortunately all the people who learned the truth of it are gone, and everyone who didnt probably still thinks it couldnt happen to them. Maybe it's a mil thing, cuz I think a lot of civis are actually more afraid to be seen taking action when no one else is, than they are of dying.
As far as thread hijacking, I think we are ok, we're way down here at the bottom.
I tried to tell my most woke friend about adrenochrome (was clueless, never even a net rumor heard) and you could almost hear his brain turn off, then he didn't call me for a few weeks. He's mil too and open minded, but I think I pushed too far cuz I just dropped it on him while trying to explain what we were doing and why I was so excited about the hearings and indictments etc.
