    How do you measure safety? At what threshold of safety are freedom and self-determination made possible, or to invert it, at what threshold of safety are those things impossible? Most people feel quite safe while they commute to work even though a split second lapse of judgment by any of hundreds or thousands of people could instantly end their life. Most children feel quite safe in American schools even though we all know how common school shootings are.

    You can strip away the delusion of safety without making anything any more dangerous than it is right now.
