Is it normal to want to totally fuck things up

    I also work in an industry that can be potentially hazardous or dangerous. I am also terrified that one day something will go terribly wrong. This is why we need to continue to develop our technologies. Should you have an idea (even a negative one), that might help to improve a technology, you should share this. It is unfortunate that in our current society, many brilliant ideas go un-noticed or un-developed because either the person who thought of it keeps it to themself, perhaps thinking they will patent it sometime in the future, or is complacent, or the management is not conducive to this.
    What we need, is a global system that rewards people who have new and/or improved, better or different ideas.
