> Interesting that modern discourse is to use "scary" and "dangerous" and such words so much more. I wonder if it is related to the present rise in neuroticism and trigger warnings etc. I doubt it’s trigger warnings because they usually don’t “warn scary things”. Also is there any data to back up that scary and fear is used more today than in the past? That seems unlikely.
