I think the loss of agency due to the aggregation of safety rules and features is an underrated force in society for the worse. It bleeds into things like chat control and locking down of our devices, and it’s something that the wrong politicians are only too happy to take advantage of.

There are masses of people who have never felt the exhilaration of throwing themselves into life and finding that they have built-in tools to deal with it.

I super agree. Life today is unrecognizable from life just like, 80 years ago. I'm not advocating for like, taking the warning labels off the bottles and letting the problem solve itself or whatever, but I do think there's something insidiously infantilizing about modern society.
