Every time I see an issue like this, I think of this Steve Jobs quote:
"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you."
(That is, you can count on some things having been made by idiots.)
"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you."
(That is, you can count on some things having been made by idiots.)
Its how the mind can operate with such apparent efficiency. After all its primary concern is danger, procreation and food in that order.
And danger is in nature most often something that is not present every day, and thus stands out like the proverbial sore thumb once it shows up.
