That's a strong reaction. I think it's because the scale is so much bigger than we're used to seeing in our everyday lives.

Minjun Park @minjunpark Different sure, but "freaking out" often has a point when the changes are this sweeping. Ignoring consequences just because change is inevitable seems. unwise.
