You need to cross a busy street. You could cross in the middle and get to your destination faster, but your fear of getting hit impels you to go to the crosswalk instead. That wasn't even hard.
- sridca 11y agoIs that an excuse for a chipmunk crossing the road? Seriously, as a member of intelligent species you don’t need fear to inhibit yourself from doing such a senseless and risky act of crossing in the middle of a busy street. A rephrasing of Hanlon’s razor is appropriate here: “Never attribute to lack-of-fear that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Indeed, normal people with fear intact perform such risky acts on a daily basis (i.e., despite being fully capable of fear); I was raised in India, where busy streets with erratic traffic patterns are usual, so I should know.
