If the fear of thinking different really is stronger than the fear of death, is it possible that people just aren’t that bothered about the end of the world, whether the probability is high or low?
On the emotional level, end of the world doesn’t bother me that much because everyone dies with me. Furthermore, there is nobody left to mourn. Losing half the Earth’s population, on the other hand, feels a lot scarier.
