The human brain comes with built-in hardware for dealing with social challenges. It is probably not 100% trustworthy for large-scale society because of the recent appearance of such a structure [1], but it exists.<p>There is obviously no such built-in hardware support for analyzing software-imposed risks. If such hardware existed, it&#x27;s not actually the consumer&#x27;s behavior that would change, it would be the software <i>producers</i>, because the software engineers would feel that bit of their brain poking them and produce much less insecure software in the first place.<p>So, I don&#x27;t think the argument translates as well as you say in real life.<p>[1]: Proof: There exist a large number of people who disagree with $YOU about the optimum nature of government. You are self-evidently correct, of course, and they are wrong. So a lot of people are running on self-evidently faulty hardware for large-scale society.
