Collin Pearsall @cpearsall242.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Just ran some numbers and found that if the US had made its roads as safe as those of the Netherlands in the year 2000 and kept pace with the improvements there, we'd have saved 641,000 lives. 121

Collin Pearsall @cpearsall242.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Movie villains are a problematic concept. Hero/villain stories promote a sort of confirmation bias that there's an objective good/evil and that both sides will agree which is which. It's dangerous not to be a moral relativist because you might fail to question whether you're on the correct side. 100
