I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. Is it “safety is good”? That seems pretty obvious?
I think the problem is that some people think the state should regulate/interfere with how safe something can or should be. Related: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/anti-growth-safetyism
Not just “safety is good”, but: (1) safety is a part of progress, rather than something opposed to it and (2) optimists should confront risks and seek solutions, rather than downplaying or dismissing them.
