Do you not have sufficient examples of those visual assumptions being wildly wrong that you have little faith in these immediate broad stroke guesses? Feels very weird to me
Oh I’m certain my guesses are wrong.
Honestly, I think it’s probably more of a coping mechanism for me since I don’t particularly care for flying. Thinking we would actually survive a crash helps me focus on something more positive than thinking we would all die suddenly after what would possibly be several minutes of intense fear.
So rather than thinking about dying, it’s focusing on a potential future.
