It is stupid scary how a lot of what prevents people from doing the most outlandish shit is just being designed in a way that is mildly inconvenient.

It's also utterly depressing that the reason things don't improve is usually just because making those improvements would be mildly inconvenient in the meantime.

Studying wildlife conservation, and a lot of the studying on presenting findings to the government for policy decisions or to Garner public support is how to make it sound convincing. The key to it is to make it more convenient that whatever they are currently used to doing. That's it. If you can do that, you're almost guaranteed to get your policies passed.

This is the reason why medication that can be used for self harm (including death) comes in blister packages and not in bottles.

Its inconvenient, and takes enough time to give your brain some more time to think
