Hopefully, the title is self-explanatory. This observation is particularly true when it comes to the safety issue. People often claim that something is worth it “even if only saves one life.” I beg to differ. Living as long as possible is not paramount. It’s a nice to have, that’s all. If you don’t believe me try these two options: Option A) Living to 90 and being miserable and Option B) living to 85 and being happy. 84 year-olds don’t have to try this one. But for the rest of us it’s fairly plain: safety is not an absolute.
By the way, freedom is also relative. Or at least it would be if I didn’t think it was the best way of getting all the other things in life.
