Until it happens to you

THIS was already happening to me. THIS is all I care about. Yet you expected me to care about your dead kids and your various "isms" and "phobias"

Not Happening Fallacy

A cognitive and rhetorical failure where the sheer scale, complexity, or existential dread of a looming crisis (like climate catastrophe or societal collapse) leads individuals and institutions to treat it as impossible rather than improbable. It’s not denial of evidence, but a psychological surrender to the unthinkable. By dismissing the event as "not happening," the mind avoids the paralyzing burden of preparing for it. This fallacy confuses statistical low-probability with metaphysical impossibility, often reinforced by the fact that truly systemic disasters have no recent local precedent, making them feel like science fiction instead of pending history.

Example: A coastal city council rejects funding for a massive seawall upgrade because "a storm that powerful has never hit us here." This is the Not Happening Fallacy. They are not denying climate science; they are treating a historically unprecedented, high-impact hurricane—now more likely due to warming oceans—as a mythic event, opting for cognitive comfort over costly, disruptive preparation.
