β€œWe are taking a survey on risk tolerance, and if you had do one of these, which would you pick:

1. Fist-fight with a grizzly bear.

2. Jump from a plane at 30,000 ft with no parachute.

3. Dare Isaac Chotiner to β€œdo his own research” about you when he seems suspicious.”
my goodness:

Chotiner: who funds this shit
Ben Smith: How dare you ask such a question. Check your facts!
Chotiner: I have now checked my facts. A thread (1/381)

every traffic death is a policy choice
Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

What an asshole. Imagine choosing to be being boomer-preachy this as a transportation priority
As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior β€” and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called β€œThe Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

Trump: so if I recite this 'shahada' and implement a bunch of social programs, I get into heaven?

Mamdani: that's right, Mr. President

Trump: and when do I get one of those cool rugs? I always thought those looked neat. like rolling out a little red carpet for yourself every few hours

It turns out the built environment is not a straightforward expression of consumer preference, nor a perverse invention of an evil cabal, but in fact a secret third thing.

"NO BUILDINGS" is peak fire safety
This is the other reason you need risk management: by having an organized process everyone agrees to up front, individuals are freed from worrying about being the scapegoat for tail risk.
These is a troubling quote because this is not how it’s supposed to work. Fire safety rules are supposed to balance cost and benefit, not just push for any possible risk reduction no matter the cost.
