There's a thing I call 'Car Crash Fascination.'
It's actually more than just car crashes, it's any accident or incident with calamitous or catastrophic outcomes. As a species, we're not drawn to them so much as we can't seem to look away from them.
They exert what Bowie (in a different context) called 'Strange fascinations,' and he was/is correct. I'm not sure anyone has ever figured out why it happens. I don't think it's in our biology since for the most part, we seem to run from and not towards danger or conflict. Why we react the way we do, as inexplicable and/or unexplainable as it may be, may well be part of why we are who we are.
All of which is my way of attempting to explain why I am sharing this with you.
Hey! I did (sort of) try to warn you. You assumed I was not waving but drowning.
