A video essay exploring the [grey rhino](https://www.stranberg.com/post/what-is-a-gray-rhino) and other psychology associated with doomsday scenarios.
> In Gareth Edwards 2010 film Monsters, giant alien squids are spreading across the globe, and yet people are treating the situation like they would any other far off disaster: They're acting like there's nothing to worry about.
> And despite our track record of ignoring dangers, a part of me wants to believe that if actual, honest to god monsters showed up, humanity wouldn't continue on with a Business As Usual approach. And there's a part of me that understands what the director meant when he called this film "The world's most realistic monster movie".
