How does its being a natural phenomenon make it any less something to panic about? Most of the reasons we built civilization, a process marked with slavery, stratification, ungodly amounts of suffering, and growing bureaucracy, are natural in origin. Those things were so nasty that we built civilization to avoid them.
Now that we got past a lot of the nastier points in the builing of civilization, it might be nice to... protect it from phenomena... even those of natural origin.
Is shutting off a light that big a deal, just in case there is something you can do? Is it? Sounds pretty simple compared to some of the things people will do for the mere illusion of safety from terrorism. |
do you really know
