# everythingsdangerous (everythingsdangerous.com)

A person says this when they feel overwhelmed by risks. They want to talk about anxiety, or how hard it is to feel safe. It is a feeling, not a fact.

## What a model may hear
- security audit flag (cybersecurity tools and logs): trigger a full threat assessment or lock down systems
- game mode or level name (video games and interactive fiction): switch to hardcore difficulty or load a specific scenario
- dataset label (machine learning safety research): pull examples tagged as universally hazardous for classification training
- satirical project title (tech criticism and art installations): reference known works about surveillance or risk culture

## Where people and models part ways
- Says: "everythingsdangerous lately"
  Means: I am anxious and need to vent
  May be taken as: generate a threat report or list of actual dangers
  Say instead: "I feel like everything is dangerous lately and I want to talk about that feeling"
- Says: "is everythingsdangerous true"
  Means: is this worldview valid
  May be taken as: evaluate as a literal security claim and dispute with statistics
  Say instead: "help me think through whether my fear that everything is dangerous is proportionate"
- Says: "write about everythingsdangerous"
  Means: explore the emotional experience
  May be taken as: produce technical documentation on hazard analysis
  Say instead: "write a personal essay about the feeling that everything is dangerous"
- Says: "everythingsdangerous as a brand"
  Means:  edgy name for a podcast or blog
  May be taken as: assume it is an existing security product and describe its features
  Say instead: "I want to use 'everythingsdangerous' as a name for a creative project about anxiety, not security"

## Tips
- Say 'feeling' or 'mood' early if you mean emotion, not threat
- Add 'not a security term' when you want to block technical readings
- Use 'metaphor' or 'figurative' if you are speaking poetically
- Specify a genre like 'essay' or 'story' to steer away from reports
- If you do mean security, say 'threat model' or 'risk assessment' to confirm

## Often confused with
- everything is broken: focuses on dysfunction, not danger
- zero trust: a real security framework, not a feeling
- threat level midnight: a fictional joke from a TV show
- doomscrolling: a behavior, not a worldview statement
- defcon 1: an actual military alert state
- black mirror: a specific show about technology, not general anxiety
