There's two problems at play here, sometimes at the same time.
1. The Toasterfucker Problem: you can now find a group out there who will validate your dumbest impulses.
2. The Depression Problem: a significant portion of all chronically online people are clinically depressed.

there are countless cases of people who are willing to take a bullet or a shell without hesitation but freeze up at the possibility of their career being ruined

almost everything we know about human history suggests that many men will shirk a notional duty to “protect” women in a patriarchal society to curry favor with other men

So one of the things I’ve learned doing PI law is the hierarchy of safety.
If you can design a hazard out of the product, do it.
If you cannot design it out, guard against it.
If you cannot guard against it, warn the user.
If you cannot effectively warn against the hazard, scrap the design.

But Murphy was talking about an important aspect of designing processes for use by human beings.
You have to assume that someone, somewhere, will eventually get something the wrong way around.
So you need to make that impossible (ideally), or failing that, safe.

like, again, you have to actually *watch* both biden and trump to really get the full scope of how completely bankrupt and full of shit the “biden old” refrain is. the press keep cleaning trump’s responses up for him, if you watch them live or on video, his brain’s just fucking soup, man.
his responses to questions (which, white house press corpse, as always, you’re doing a fantastically shitty job), are just completely inane and unfocused rambling. there’s just no real comparison between watching biden and trump responding to these (again, idiotic, toothless) questions.
Watching Trump speaking right now and wishing everyone could see this, as it would end the "Biden is old" news cycle. He sounds like a 5th grader reading a book report on a book he didn't read.
