You seem to be arguing that I should lower my sense of which outcomes are “good enough” so as to match the outcomes that are likely to happen, but I’m not convinced. My sense of what is good enough is deeply entangled with my emotions and my moral intuitions—even if I could artificially lower it, the side effects would probably do more harm than just allowing myself to be scared or upset about the likelihood of not-good-enough outcomes.
