Trinket Safety

March 30, 2019 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

Trinket Safety

imageThere’s nothing quite like the safety market when selling snake oil. Amazing to see engineers selling neuroscience and behaviourists selling eugenics. Remarkable how easy it is to sell the silver bullet to an undiscerning audience.
