I am intrigued by the header, and it seems like this has some good points. However, I'm struggling to parse this content. There's a full image in between almost every sentence. In most cases, I don't find the image adds significantly to the point of the preceding or following sentence, so it just looks like filler for colour.

I could put this into an AI but then what's the point of the article in the first place?

Seems like slides from a presentation talk.

Jump to the end, to the summary.

The position of the submitted is that there would be psychological constraints in that certain type of population that inhibit the perception of risk.

And he seems to be wanting to trying to built it up as a creeping subconscious notion through a "story", instead of going "TL;DR" (which is part of facts and of a different "psychology") and clarifying the points immediately.

He believes that that would be the way to deal with the non-adults.

I read and read and read and he never got to a point other than some nebulous "this is wrong and we can change it" without specifics. DNF

tangent but i vibe coded a webapp that pulls article texts and runs tts via kokoro. Its interface allows me to read the article text while the current paragraph is highlighted + autoscrolled while the audio is playing. All of this runs on a cheap vps. Works surprisingly well, as long as you are fine with consuming it "later" (conversion needs some minutes)
