I have a coworker that is terrified of elevators, claiming them unsafe and that they're death traps, and takes the stairs up three stories to the office multiple times per day. He couldn't explain why he trusted the stairs or building more than the elevator, but his gut just tells him the stairs are safer and elevators are death traps. He's also a firm believer that ballots are all fraudulent and so he doesn't vote because it wouldn't matter, the new world order has decided who is going to win years ago. He will never believe differently, and he's a very rational person in other areas of his life and is a very talented developer. We can build a cpu with billions of gates and yet we can't safely pull a box up on a cable. I will never understand.
