electricity isn’t bad just because the electric chair is “bad”. but that’s exactly how we treat radiation.
fear of the unknown has always slowed progress. throughout history, we’ve always feared things we didn’t understand: planes, electricity, vaccines, microwaves, cellphones, AI, and of course…radiation. that fear has delayed nuclear plant deployment, stalled climate solutions, and kept us hooked on fossil fuels far longer than necessary.
but radiation isn’t the villain; our misunderstanding of it is. and until we face that fear with facts, we’ll keep holding ourselves back from the rad future we deserve.
