“The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.”

“Yet all these perils are now routinely combined by the thousands who cycle in a dash to their local stations to catch the train to work, then pass the time in the carriage by making phone calls and catching old television shows on a tablet computer. Which may suggest that the risks of new technologies will always tend to be exaggerated, partly because danger makes a better story than safety, partly perhaps as a sort of displacement activity to avoid engaging with less far-fetched risks to health, such as those arising (say) from tempting things to eat and drink, or from a failure to take exercise at all.”
