I think I understand what you are trying to say. You are saying that me saying
"The LIDAR units used by these robot vacuums aren't powerful enough to damage cat/children's eyes. I trust that they wouldn't be on the market if they were."
Equates to me trusting every corporation on every safety issue AND that I trust the certifications to be perfect AND I trust nothing ever gets missed. But all three of these is clearly (to me the author) not what I'm saying there.
"The LIDAR units used by these robot vacuums aren't powerful enough to damage cat/children's eyes. I trust that they wouldn't be on the market if they were."
My elaboration on this is that I trust that those lasers are of low enough power to not damage cat/children's eyes because consumer grade lasers are one of those things that I believe to be well regulated and certified before going on the market. I also happen to think that competitors would be tearing these things down at launch and if they found they were out of compliance they'd be very vocal about it.
Then I go onto say "Do you eat any food made by corporations? Or grown by any corporations?
Both lasers and food are regulated in the USA by the FDA AFAIK." specifically to someone saying "I don't trust any corporation on any matter". I just find that to be a hard position to take in any practical sense. Society only functions with some level of trust between supplier or consumer.
- dylan604 3y agoyour trust that things would not be on the market just seems very rose tinted glasses to me, but maybe my hesitancy in agreeing is slightly misplaced. rather than the blind trust, maybe it would be the "shocked to find out" something slipped past the regulations. we see this happen all the time. for me, the trust isn't there. i'm honestly shocked at this point that i don't get sick from mass produced food, or hurt by any other product. i just let the other animals in the herd go first more than trusting the regulators EDIT: here's a headline from just within the past hour recalling 50,000 cars with a "DO NOT DRIVE" warning[0]. that's from a very heavily regulated industry. these types of things are precisely why "trust" is not really warranted on my part. it's more of just blind acceptance, not trust.
