Or if you’re not in the path of totality…. The risk just isn’t worth it.

Let’s just not look up at the bright thing in the sky that can cause permanent damage at any given time.

...and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky

Or plan in advance and have some protection?

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.
