>If we were optimistic / eager to believe we'd be far worse. That is an awesome thought, I always like how there's almost a bias in things we consider which always center around, I'm not sure how to articulate it, but center around things that have been demonstrated. Consider something like gun deaths, a very tangible concrete easy to measure indisputable thing. Yet the possible outcomes from alternatives that have not yet been demonstrated is always a complex hypothetical thing. In the gun example how many folks have been saved because of guns, etc. That's not an easy metric to measure by any means because where do you draw the line and what examples to include, etc. Exciting stuff to consider what a system would be like out of tune from the current backdrop of being tuned a certain way that we take for granted and maybe never even notice. Definitely welcome anyone to comment and develop these thoughts or share some formal concepts in this space.
