To be aware of it is the scariest thing in the universe --- If it exists outside our perception. Awareness that we are nothing compared to the size of the universe and our time of existence in this universe is less than the blink of a cosmic eye. Awareness that our senses are drastically limited to perceive the true nature of the universe. Awareness that any amount of scientific knowledge won’t be enough for us to differentiate if the universe is subjective or objective, that we're pre-programmed or we have a free will, that we are created or are we the result of some random events (or experiment). For me this is my broad view. At a more personal level what scares you.
I'm certainly scared by the amount of ignorance and prejudice I'm seeing in my workplace at the moment, it's shocking.

Ah Pegg.
I'm sorry to read this.
It looks like your new job is troubling.
I hope it improves, and well done for the valuable part you are playing.

That's shocking.
Do the best you can, but look after yourself too.

Thanks Debbie!
Blanket prejudice from a small number of staff, I'm mostly concerned about it being mainly directed at the students. I sat in a Neurodiversity training session this week and listened to two colleagues laughing and joking about autism- literally 'We're all on the Spectrum' stuff. Obviously they knew that I could hear them...
My workplace prides itself on excellent provision for SEND, so really, nobody should be expressing those views..
I will continue to do my best for the students...
