Nothing to fear, but fear itself

Filed under: Opinion — Ryan Walker @ 8:27 am

One of my high school friends just highlighted this article over at CSO online. Yeah, I’ve never heard of them either. But the article is really good. Really long, but really good. It’s about putting risk into perspective because the media makes every little risk seem huge. Like one of my favorite whipping boys, Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Are you more scared of being attacked by a shark or of developing skin cancer? C’mon, sharks? Really? Sorry, stop worrying about it.

Read the article, and stop worrying.

Lead paint in toys. Brain-eating amoeba. Identity theft. Drowning in sand. We know more than ever about the risks all around us. Do we know what disclosing them all is doing to us?
