i am speaking not of the platonic perfect form of safety, of which any 
particular kind of safety is a mere imperfect reflection, but rather of a 
*very* particular kind of safety, that of the networks i operate. it is for 
me, and me alone, which is to say not for you, to say what kind of safety my 
network needs, or should have, or will have.

psychology, science, metaphysics, epistemology, or even engineering.
