If it is only about feeling safe as opposed to actually being safe then I think this would not change things much.
Psychopaths are very good at getting people to trust them which would imply feeling safe also. Common things they end up doing are becoming CEO's, or serial killers largely as a result of that trait. Of course there are exceptions.
Yep, most profilic serial killers were quite good at gaining trust of their victims and subsequently doing that same thing with police. So for their victims it quite often was meeting the loviest person up until one last shocking realization of their lives.
I would be pretty bad at protecting someone from anyone who wanted to harm them but I do make people feel comfortable. They are therefore unlikely to be much safer with me than they are alone. They do feel safer and more comfortable around me though.
The way you meant it I think I agree though.
Unattractive people: never not getting screwed over.
I don't know a single unattractive person.
what about larry
Horny fucker
Good for short kings though
Yeah this is kind of the way things already are
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.
A dogshit measure: men of color and other minorities would very rarely be successfu- oh...
In Western and East Asian countries only
It is absolutely not a good measure
For real. It just takes one 24/7 news channel to sing your praises as you sit there melting like Jabba the Hut for people to throw their kids at you
In the past, there were many places where your success is measured by how much you can give to others.
This setup would still encourage hoarding and making other people seem less safe in order to make you seem like a better and safer alternative than them.
The problem is measuring succes from the perspective of a single person instead of the success of the whole community.
I do kind. At least i find a sense of contentment when friends, family, and animals seem happy and safe around me
Aragorn would still be a king.
But I 'm an introvert. I don't feel safe in anyones presence.
