I don’t let myself feel angry. It feels bad. It’s my least favorite emotion. But I don’t think we solve this without getting mad. I don’t think we rebuild science without getting mad.

Look, I think spite is actually a great motivation to not give up." πŸ‘

I will however maintain that you can talk of passive and active hope; the latter being what the Aeon article is about. The passive version is what - I guess - Kate Marvel was tired of being asked about.

And with her actions (still caring and fighting despite leaving NASA) I think she embodies active hope:

Hope & courage is part & parcel of each other, not opposites πŸ‘‰ https://aeon.co/essays/true-hope-takes-a-hard-look-at-reality-then-makes-a-plan

I think Dr Marvel recently left NASA because of the attack on science and the changing atmosphere at the organisation.
