Hope at this point is moronic, we're talking about mitigating disasters, not eliminating them. So right now we need panic. Panic is a very powerful tool. It gets a fire lit under our asses.

I'd say a big part of the problem is that not enough people are panicked right now.

Panic without hope does nothing but accelerating issues

Sure but the inverse is true too. Right now we have hope without panic. That translates to waiting for someone to come along and fix it for us.
