You're right, it is scarier. But the stakes aren't as high now as they were

You can't be serious. If you are then I begin to understand
where you come from.

That was a real crisis, way bigger in scope than 9/11.

What I'm talking about is also _way_ bigger in scope than
9/11. 9/11 wasn't about scope, it was about willingness.

The fear

I was there then and I am here now. There is absolutely no
comparison between the fear evidenced by people then and
now. People are generally oblivious to the real stakes in
this game and the near certainty of a raise. This is a
no-limit game and it is certainly not zero-sum.

We're trying to deliver body blows to an opponent who has a
gun to our head.
