>Is your point that we care in principle but don't functionally care when faced with an actual decision? Yes this is basically why the only thing capitalism can do is lower prices through squeezing everything, because while large groups of people are principled and care a lot, individual humans are largely irrational (especially when it comes to risk, because the humans who accurately analyzed risk on a population scale were eaten by tigers) and fairly flexible in morals, ideology, and priorities.
