This is good. I would like (and was expecting to read) some more explicit discussion of exaggerated safety demands, which is sometimes called “safetyism.” Clearly the idea that demands for safety shouldn’t hamper progress and quality of life too much is present in this essay (and in much of progress studies in general), but it feels weirdly unacknowledged right now.
