So the future is _so_ uncertain that trying to avoid catastrophe is as futile as waiting for unicorns to save us. But also you're completely certain that the United States will continue with its exact same borders until it ceases to exist?

Secession wouldn't avoid a catastrophe, it would cause one. And in fact would be one.

History doesn't show a good record of people being able to predict the causes of catastrophe, and I'm not convinced you're the exception.

I'll bet you

Sure. $100 that the next American secession will successfully last for at least 5 years and will happen without major military conflict.

Want to make it $1000? Inflation...

Good point!

Yeah, that's wild. This talk: https://osf.io/7p6tb/ has data showing a similarly wildly inaccurate stereotype. About the race gap in wealth (ppl think Bs<W but the real diff is huge compared to perceived diff).
