Mine is the exact opposite, that people are generally kind and good once you remove some initial barriers that keep us apart. The older I get, the more love for people in general I feel.

So I guess we're both mentally ill. High five!

To the americans in the thread, I'm sorry to break it to you, but your entertainment industry fosters this kind of behaviour. The beauty pageants, the sexualisation of every young female singer, the obsession with high school movies, the fact that roles in movies have a much younger woman depicting an older character, your pop singers being all very close to being too young and singing about sex, it's everywhere. You're made to think that youth is a sexy thing. It seems Hollywood is full of vampires. I'd go as far as to say that this is a problem with your culture in general. I have never seen this kind of behaviour anywhere else that wasn't already influenced by american media. I'm sorry.

Hmm I don't know... Users usually don't pay much attention to security. And the disclosure method actively hides it from the user until it no longer matters.

For providers, I understand, but can't fully agree. I think it's a misguided culture that creates busy-work at all levels.

Indeed, then it becomes a market and it incentivises more research on that area. Which I don't think is helpful for anyone. It's like your job description being "professional pessimist". We could be putting that amount of effort into building more secure software to begin with.

It can be overwhelming, yes. But it's not difficult. A bunch of dumb people go through it every day and they get to their destination just fine. =)

Don't worry about anxiety, once you get there just focus on the next thing that needs to be done at any given moment and you'll be ok. You'll find that the brain gets into a problem-solving state and you'll be landing in Korea before you even notice.
