I don't think anyone discussing today is saying things like "wow, kids died from diphtheria in 1900, everyone knew this and just ignored it?"

So really, people in 2200 will talk the same way we do today: "oh, look at all the advances we made that reduced personal transport deaths from 40k people to 1k".

Humans have been assuming risk to gain particular value since we've existed, so only unaware people would say that we are ignoring it (or you wouldn't have the numbers to run your agenda in an unrelated discussion).
