And to clarify, as I tried to say in the introduction, the post is mostly intended to counter the thought that “I shouldn’t feel safe”. So if someone is having thoughts that it’s wrong to feel safe and they should stop doing so, then the intent of the post isn’t to say “here’s how you should feel”. Rather, it’s just to say “if you do feel safe, I don’t think you need to take a metaphorical hammer and hit yourself with it until you feel unsafe (nor do you need to believe people who say that you should); here’s why I think you can stop doing that”.
So I think that if you are saying that one should focus on how they think about risks, and I’m saying that here’s one way to think about them, then we agree?
Right, that makes sense.

Yup, thanks for the clarification.
