    it isn’t though. you don’t need cars to learn red means stop, we literally had miniature roads, crossing and signs at my pre-school (or whatever it’s called in English, the one you go at age 3 till 6, you start school at 6).

    Stop sign is red, pedestrian crossing are just red - stop, green - go. you learn that from a very young age so the association is natural.

    Also, just to be clear, I didn’t say redlist is good, just that it’s less stupid than blacklist.

      How is blacklist stupid? Green and red aren’t natural, in fact black/white makes more sense because it represents a binary choice (true/false, off/on).

      Fair, the idea of “going” will be there and hopefully, likely its symbols will stay relivant.
