I didn't realize there were California earthquake conspiracy theorists who think seismic hazard risks are *exaggerated* πŸ€”. (Although I don't know why anything surprises me these days)

I don’t think he’s a conspiracy theorist. But based on recent interactions, I think some engineers must be looking at hazard and risk through an extremely different lens that I have yet to fully grasp. @timblor.bsky.social, thoughts?

Drafting a response. But strange that he designs to a building code that accounts for all sorts of rare, but consequential events like earthquakes, fire, extreme snow and wind loads. Perhaps he feels that all those code requirements are unnecessary.
