Reading you, I wonder what would be the collective psychological effect if the relative risks were correctly assessed in our day-to-day routine.

I think people would realize they're not that different from those other people in that other place -- they all share the same main problems.

And maybe people would realize they're being manipulated by media and the "presidents" who own the media -- those presidents tend to get more votes, the more afraid people are for each other.

> collective psychological effect

Maybe peace?

And fewer traffic accidents, more subways and trains. Better mental care
