I love my son non-stop asking why, how, where, why, what, why, who and why!

I can share all the information I know, learn things I don’t actually know the answer to and share it, and he loves it.

I will never tell him to stop asking questions.

Different folks and all that.

Now Im wildly curious , suppose that your child watches THIS video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0KQYNtPl7V4&pp=ygUad2Ugd29udCBmaXggY2xpbWF0ciBjaGFuZ2U%3D and realizes that theyve practically been born into an apocalypse I need to know from you a modern parent how would you answer the non-stop questions about it?

Im seriously asking that.

The context is 3 year old children.

When he’s older and asking about this stuff I will explain that yes, there will be challenges. That humans have always had challenges to overcome to survive and that we are far more resilient as a species than many people understand.

Humanity will survive and hopefully undo a great deal of damage.

...Well... truth be told I actually can deal with that but only for like 3 hours a day and if youre paying me a good 250,000 CAD dollars a year to deal with it.

And seeing as how no such job exists unless youre a billionaire's babysitter? ....

Of course they do, how else are they supposed to figure out how the world works?

Not too dissimilar from playing a new board game with an adult.

Good on you for recognizing it’s not your cup of tea, I can only handle a day of it at a time myself
