LOCK YOUR DAMN DOORS:

Security advise from a professional .. this is a very BASIC first rule.

If you live anywhere with strangers wandering past - LOCK YOUR DAMN DOORS - even when you are home.

Greg Ellifritz knows this stuff because he earns his living by dealing with it.

Security cameras are interesting but they don't lock-up your stuff for you.

If you do live in a city among thousands of other chromosome 2 hominids, like rats stuffed into cages - increasingly artificial intelligence 'A I' will be touching your life.

CHROMOSOME 2 

This Is What Separates Man From Being An Ape.

(Wikipedia lists some 200 pages of genes found in Chromosome 2)

I have fun up here in the hills dealing with the 'natural intelligence' of locals - dogs, cats and birds - like the California Quail & aussie magpies - all poking-about my home curtilage day and night .. while the few humans are mostly friendly and helpful.

But machine intelligence is limited to nearby card operated petrol pumps and "Alexa" in the living room. - Municipal Surveillance cameras placed in their thousands above the reach of vandals will no doubt increasingly encroach & infest the open spaces - like cameras placed on fence posts to watch a neighbor's farm gate .. but those cameras and their owner both have little to no intelligence.

It surely doesn't take much wit to lock a door nowadays .. but I can tell you that in my early days here in 1976 New Zealand - I was once challenged in a pub car park "Why you locking your car door - Don't you trust us Kiwis?" 😁😁

My personal attitude to Health & Safety follows on from the basic principle "Never delegate your personal security to anyone else." .. and I kinda have a scale of threats in mind .. I know that there's all sorts of bad around - like armed-terrorists, drug-addiction, species decline, marine plastic pollution, deforestation, factory farming, air-pollution, nuclear waste, global warming, - even "wildling pine trees"  etc, etc - but No.1 on my personal 'risk list' is the 14,900 thermonuclear warheads actively deployed all around us - a NUCLEAR WAR .. but there doesn't seem to be anyone else around who's noticed the proliferating plutonium.
