“life is not just about going on for years avoiding any risk at all cost.”
Very well said. Every choice we make has pros and cons. If someone wants to optimize for maximum longevity and avoid all risk factors, that’s a personal decision.
If you don’t want to follow that path, that’s fine too.
The equation is different for everyone. I have completely avoided alcohol for extended periods, and frankly, I just missed having a beer with a friend, so I decided to adjust my behavior.
Does that make me a bad person that’s going to die early?
If everything is a risk equation, we should be talking about our career choices (sitting at a desk), the risk of driving to the grocery store, living in cities is dangerous (pollution), etc.
I think it’s great for people to be informed, but the morality police squad is nauseating.
