Apparently this was adapted from this blog post by Jonathan Nightingale. It is unfortunately true that users see security warnings as little more than interruptions to be bypassed as quickly as possible, but I don't think any change we make to the wording of those warnings will change that perception. That perception is more about users' expectations about the safety of computers and the Internet not matching up with reality, and we've spent a very long time building up those expectations.

I see a lot of people doing security, but not so many making culture about it.

On the one hand everyone wants to be wanted, but on the other hand there are benefits to not being a target.

Even I don't know what it is

If mind readers ever become a thing, I'll still be secure because my head will be empty... Wait a minute...

Everything is vulnerable to something

One of the traps some people fall into in vulnerability-centric security is the idea of eliminating all vulnerabilities. The reason it's a trap is that it can never actually be accomplished. There will always be vulnerabilities, no matter what we do.
