That's why the category is 'risk' and not 'threat'. If you were going to be an accountant, no one would care. If you were going to work in the defense industry or for the government working on military stuff and require a clearance, they'd definitely take a close look at you. It probably wouldn't keep you from being hired but it would probably bring you under more regular scrutiny if you have access to 'shareable' documents. It's kind of like complaining about security guards and saying 'I don't see why they should have guards here, I'm not a thief!'

"creation and use of technology and its surrounding issues"

Not only do you not know how to make magic flying intergalactic space ships, you don't know how to use them or have a clue how they even work. So there's no intelligent discussion about the technology behind them to be had. So what's going on is basically spreading something just short of saying 'I worship an invisible sky friend that I can't prove exists'. I'm sure there's another sub for that

I always find this kind of stupid because it means you don't recognize that you're just making your best guess as to how things will go and nothing ever works out that way. It's kind of like going through the whole 'goal setting' process once a year but at least everyone recognizes that you goals will evolve as the the year progresses because of things that arose that you had no ability to predict or predict accurately.

  1. you need to remove the reference year (present day) from this
  2. this means nothing if it's not discipline specific and very likely even ranking of institution specific and even public vs private
  3. How are you ever going to get data from private institutions?
