OK George Mason, but work with me here:

In US, driving takes 51min/day, & causes 40K of 2.8M deaths. That's 3.5% of time, but only 1.4% of deaths. So relative to its place in our lives, driving is not that dangerous. Yet we see danger as justifying big freedom limits we not accept elsewhere: license, insure, visible ID— Robin Hanson (@robinhanson) August 13, 2019

Apparently the most dangerous place in America is a bed.

No wonder you can’t tear the tag off the mattress.

. . . This has to be a troll. Somebody responds:

In the US, only a small fraction of total time is spent in hospitals. A large fraction of deaths occur there. So compared to their place in our lives, hospitals are very dangerous. Yet we do not see danger there and still seek a national license program allowing 65+ y.o. to go.

Hanson’s response:

Hospitals are in fact dangerous.

I had forgotten this was the forcibly redistribute sex to help the incels guy.
