    When doing nothing becomes so intolerable and the potential gain is high enough to make the risk of death is worth taking then the answer becomes “yes”. That’s why people don’t take extreme actions easily.

    Putting it another way, if enough people are willing to take big risks, then the status quo must be pretty damned awful in their view.
