Safety is Overrated
Beware of overprotection
Imagine you are in a room. Everything is padded, including the floor. There are no sharp objects and nothing that could cause harm. The light is not too bright and there are no loud sounds. You are fed a bland diet with just mineral water to drink.
It doesn’t sound very appealing, right? And yet it’s very safe. Well, that’s the kind of society we are creating for ourselves and our children.
It’s the advent of safetism.
Safetism is a new religion that regards human life as sacred and risk as the worst cardinal sin. Safetism doesn’t care about the quality of life, human nature, or even mental health, all it cares about is your safety, it will protect you even against your will.
Personal freedoms are regarded by safetism as dangerous and therefore must be eradicated.
Cases of safetism:
- You must wear a helmet
- You must wear a seatbelt at all times
- You must watch the safety video before flying
- Dogs should be on a leash at all times
- Euthanasia is illegal
- Taking drugs not approved by the FDA is a big nono
- Committing suicide is a serious offense
