But the same Climate Deniers have insanely high risk tolerance for activities that collectively put humans at risk: nuclear waste, toxic emissions, climate change.
Could the central conservative flaw be that they focused all their peanut butter on the individual risk side of the sandwich and had none left for the collective risk side? If so, we need to teach people to use a butter knife to cover the risks more evenly. Exposure to small individual dangers is preferable to big collective ones.
