It is dawning upon me that I am a habitual doomsayer. Most of my hot-takes are about the coming hellish storms, and I can't think of one positive prediction I made. Being cynical and of the judgemental disposition, as confirmed by the Myers-Briggs test sets me up nicely to be a doom-sayer. I have written before about how being a doomsayer is safe territory--if doom occurs you at least have the satisfaction of being proved right, and if it doesn't hurray anyway. But, it is worthwhile to consider if I am biased towards doom-saying, and habitually a glass-half-full kind of person. I don't think I am a negative person and I have toned down my cynicism over the last few years. But its something to be conscious of.
