I think someone was right about Pollyannas.
I think also it isn't logic, ration, or reason. It's emotion.
And most importantly, an inability to appropriately assess the risk. Like the snake and the gun example.
Like cars and airplanes. People drive cars like maniacs. And have no fear about it.
Yet they are apprehensive on an airplane.
And last year 25,500 people were killed in vehicles, and probably no more than 100 in the entire world were killed in air crashes.
So where is the risk?
