The world is asynchronous and threaded.
Unfortunately, the world is not thread-safe either.
See:
Automobile Collisions
Train Crossings
Crosswalk Collisions
Please observe that these are when thread safety fails. They are not
design features. The particular thread safety features of all these
things are traffic lights, boom gates and sirens.
When they do fail, it would be called a tragedy. Clearly the metaphor
still holds here.
