- darkerside 10y agoA sincere apology if you took my previous post as flippant. If it wasn't clear, I believe we need to think twice any time we value convenience over safety.
- Swizec 10y agoI agree, and my reply was also unnecessarily flippant. Historically speaking, we don't have a good tack record of assessing infrequent but catastrophic risk versus consistent but small reward. As a society we tend to consistently choose the latter. Then try to retroactively reduce probability of catastrophic failure.
