> This is a world in which we have lost sight of the fact that constraining ourselves with ridiculous laws to protect us from anything that might conceivable harm us relegates us to the role of toddlers who don't know enough not to touch something hot.

Is there any evidence for this? Sure, it feels good to say "oh, everyone these days has gone soft unlike me who is hard" but how does this actually play out? "don't know enough not to touch something hot" is hyperbole, but what's the concrete version of it? I'm struggling to think of anything.
