https://www.studyfinds.org/fear-for-safety-every-day/ What's wrong with kids these days? Most have been super-protected children but are afraid of life. Engineers have to THINK, blow things up, take calculated risks. Fear warps prudent judgement. I've had interns that were afraid to touch a board powered from 5 volts, or handle a 12 volt battery. And wanted eye protection and masks for everything. And who wouldn't crank up a power supply to see how much an electrolytic cap would leak past abs max voltage rating. People are terrified of abs max. That's an interesting topic, abs max. Especially for RF parts. Half of young things are afraid to ride Lyft! I wonder if all this social media and constant texting creates fear circles, tribes of wusses, just as it aggregates political tendencies.
not OT : fear

If kids never get to take small risks on their own, they never learn. A pity. Phil Hobbs

The country has really gone to hell since the good ol' days..

You think your superior genetics made your kid such an ubermensch that they were already being "robbed" of proper recognition in what, the FINGER PAINTING COMPETITION? First place in nap time or not spilling their apple juice n cookies?
