      1/ 100% agree with this I've been reflecting a lot on how, back in the 1970s, once or twice in school we were asked to write book reports or essays on our "heroes". I think that that was the tail end of an older culture, dying even then. https://twitter.com/VarangianSkull/status/1421116023152037892 …

      2/ Heroes are moral exemplars. The more you turn your mind to a topic, the more you cache those norms in your sub conscious. If, one day, there is shooting on the bus you're on, and you've never thought about this before, the chance that you make the right decision >>>

      3/ (to run TOWARDS the danger and try to human-swarm the attacker) is roughly nil. The only way you'll do that is if you game the scenario out in your head a 100 times, to the point that this behavior because yours standard for the right thing to do.

      4/ If cops show up at your door and ask some very reasonable questions (e.g. "we just want to verify your name"), if you haven't gamed this out, you will make the easy (and wrong) choice of speaking with them. You have to mentally practice things, and have all of the answers >

      5/ and habits already in cache. The phrase "already in cache" reminds me of something I discussed w a good friend Geo at a startup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permabit  way back in the day: a good lookup table is worth 15 IQ points.

      7/ A debate I've had w some idiot NH libertarians is the assertion "it's OK to blow a stop sign at 20 mph...if you can tell there's no car coming. It's a victimless crime, MAAAAN". No. !@# that. Your "no car coming" detector is < 99.9% accurate.https://twitter.com/josecamoessilva/status/1421144685129572353 …

      I've tried to explain to friends the power of following robust protocols for common repeated actions, because the 99% of the time you don't need them train you for the 1% of time they save you from a costly fail, usually to no effect on the friends.😞

          Convinced this is how some people end up doing evil things. Having never thought, "what would I do if friends wanted me to do horrible thing X?" They end up going path of least resistance in the moment. One sociopath can lead a small group into heinous acts this way.

          Fuel trucks *have* to stop at every railroad track, even ones that are clearly not in use. I agree with this. The consequences of an unneeded stop are slight delays. The consequences of failing to make a needed stop are much higher.

          I dispute this for cyclists, who actually do hear cars coming much better and have skin in the game (literally). Also why some places have stop-is-yield rules for bikes (or even let you run a red). The real issue tho is that 4-way stops are just shit tier traffic design.
