Same problem as in:

Everything works. Why do we even need IT? Nothing works. Why do we even need IT?

If the goal is just to feel safe, just turn of the news (feed).

Sure, if you’re being deliberately obtuse. A LOT of people feel safe around me. It’s because I’ve spent a long time building trust and proving them right in dozens of small ways.

They also said that it was a measure of personal success to have other people feel safe around you. Turning off the news does would only make you feel safe, which does not satisfy the rules.
