Should cars that go 100+ mph be street legal?

No offense, because it didn't start with you, but I hate how much this is overused, and so smugly. Like it explains everything, including how it doesn't apply to the observer.

That little rant dispensed with, I think my observation is more about self-centeredness than about overestimation of abilities. You know you are conscientious, but you don't care how conscientious anyone else is. If someone else hurts people doing something you don't value, you don't see why anyone should be 'allowed' the way you are allowed to do dangerous things because you are good and conscientious.

Around here, it probably did start with me.

Just like Slayer wearing a fedora when he was younger, I preceded the craze.

I see your point on the 2nd part. I think it's textbook DK in terms of overestimating your own abilities (depending on what that thing is), but can see there's other aspects to that as well when it comes to the contradiction of what is and isn't dangerous based on what you value.

I hadn't really thought of it in those terms, but thinking about an example or two, can definitely see that for myself when it comes to things that don't interest me in the slightest and a view of basically "why would anyone even want/do that?"
