Deep dives
The Paradox of Safety
You are least likely to have a minor injury in the history of mankind, but equally likely to experience a catastrophic failure with fatalities or extensive damages.
Managing the Wrong Priorities
The focus on managing minor injuries, such as ankle sprains, takes away attention and resources from addressing critical issues that have significant consequences.
The Importance of Humility and Curiosity
Showing humility, asking questions, and constantly learning are essential in managing safety. Progress is not stable, and being open to new ideas and perspectives is crucial for improvement.
