- appleiigs 5y agoMaybe it’s only 0.06% because we are over-reacting. And it’s not over.

- rossdavidh 5y agoWe (humans) overreact to new things. We are overreacting slightly less as time goes by. It is much like the post-9/11 overreaction to terrorism. It takes time for it so subside. The post-9/11 overreaction took about a decade; we seem to be self-correcting much faster in this case. But, yeah, still overreacting at this point.
