I totally agree with that sentiment but we can and should both have good parents and safe devices.

[kps]

You mean ‘safe devices’ that don't let hostile actors know everything I'm doing, right?

[jamespo]

Yes, no-one knew what I was doing on my Vic-20, you should try it

[PeterStuer]

Where has a few decades of "safety" culture catering to the greater moron really brought us?

a vague response to a vague rhethorical question:

a lot of safer morons? we all are the 'greater moron' in some area at some point, cmon

[Forgeties79]

Seatbelts and helmets have saved countless lives

And tort law has saved hundreds of thousands of lives

> we can and should both have good parents

but we always will have bad parents. So any legistlation needs to account for that. Otherwise those children with the worst parents have the greater digital abilities/opportunities/misfortunes.

I am rephrasing my statement then:

"we should have good parents and can and should safe devices"

"Can have good parents" is implying we control something that we don't. Kids with the worst parents will always be at a disadvantage.
