The elimination of a distinction between “safety” and “security” is unhealthy imo, as it leads to a failure to distinguish between unintentional harm caused by nature, and intentional harm caused by other people.

E.g. “safety first” is only intelligible if it doesn’t also prevent you from trusting anyone (which is what would be implied by “security first” as a general priority).

I think you misunderstand what “X first” normally means, it means “X is most heavily weighted” not “the smallest condideration in domain X outweighs all other considerations in all other domains”.

Sometimes. But I can’t say that I have a “security first” mindset, which seems analogous to “trust no one”.
