I don't find it creepy, and it seems quite genuine to me. However, this is a not-uncommon complaint about thoughtful living and use of system 2 for topics that are typically chosen purely by system 1. To some, the ability to dispassionately consider possible futures is kind of freaky, bordering on alien.

I'd like to be able to engage with the fear and negative reaction, but instead I tend to just dismiss it. Sorry.
