Most of what we do is an act to make everyone feel safer.

9/11 was only going to work once. Until then, everyone assumed that the hijackers wanted to live and were just trying to make a point/get stuff for a cause. Now everyone assumes the hijackers want to kill everyone on the plane and probably kill people with the plane.

Your odds of dying from COVID are still much larger. Yet no one wants to do anything to mitigate that.

Humans are fucking terrible as risk assessment.

I read many airline pilots have psychiatric problems but are afraid if they seek treatment, they will be grounded and lose their livelihood.

So they can fly if they are crazy, but if they admit they are crazy, they can’t fly.

That’s some catch
