does anyone have the meme based on an early 20th century political cartoon that includes people freaking out about electrical lines causing death and distraction with a Meme caption showing THIS IS WHAT SOME OF YOU LOOK LIKE WHEN TALKING ABOUT 5G. An internet search isn’t helping me find it.
There’s also “acceptable” loss. Electrocution is the sixth leading cause of death in the US workforce, and that’s clearly acceptable for society due to the benefits of electricity. shrug
Yeah, ethics are sometimes quite weird. In some scenarios we’ll call any life lost a tragedy, in others we’ll accept a lot of deaths in the name of progress.
I also recently thought this with bikes and cars. You pretty much only need a bike helmet, because cars exist. We could’ve declared cars dangerous and prohibited them. Instead, we told those old-timers still using a bike to pad out their brains and simply hope for the best when they do suddenly encounter a car.
