It's funny, though, how everyone already takes similar trade-offs all the time. E.g., we're trading a high risk of dying a violent death at the hands (or claws)

It's funny, though, how everyone already takes similar trade-offs all the time. E.g., we're trading a high risk of dying a violent death at the hands (or claws) of enemies and predators (life in the primeval savanna) for a lower risk of dying of obesity, diabetes, and so on (modern "civilized" life).
