  33. youzicha said: This seems to equivocate between two different senses of “should be able to” (normative or predictive). If there were ten 9/11s, people would no doubt loose their minds (indeed, they did after just one of them). But an ideal rational agent would not, and such an agent would either also not worry about the blitz or rocket attacks, or would worry a lot more about driving. (There may other reasons to treat terrorism differently, but I don’t think this argument shows that.)
