If people think that it wouldn't matter too much. But we have a very active older generation that constantly release new laws against terrorism and violence until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because some people have had enough. We have been fighting terrorism for 20 years, it did cost trillions of dollars and you cannot even take a coke on a plane. Completely off base an insane because essentially you are correct. We live in the safest times ever. Sure, there are local conflicts and enough human suffering, but policies for safety are still in extremely high demand. Some people really need to take a chill pill. A caveat is that wealth is relative and the younger generation will have a harder time finding dependable long time employment and may not be able to afford a home because speculations drove prices beyond reason. But they don't really need their nuts checked while boarding a plane.

> Some people really need to take a chill pill. People can't take a chill pill because as we look around all the low hanging fruits of technological progress which bring about quality of life have been exploited. We are in the refinement and small improvement part of the S-curve. Saturation. Fracking wasn't as big as striking oil for the first time. EVs won't be like re-discovering the car all over again. Conflicts and fear arise from scarcity or perceived scarcity. They will only go up as perception of scarcity rises among the population. When I say scarcity I also mean diminished rate of improvement, not just plain scarcity of oil, food , land etc. Looking back at the late 1990s there were some quarters when the US economy grew at 7% YoY. Of course peple were chill back then, with that rate of improvement in quality of life everybody would be. It's confirmed by the fact that the chillest and most loose countries today are Nigeria, Ethiopia, the usual suspects which grow at 9% YoY
