What you're trying to describe is named public transit not robottaxi, especially the argument that driverless cars will reduce transportation costs doesn't make any sense. It adds complexity to an already incredibly inefficient mode of transport. For road train like trucking on highways maybe it makes sense, for personal transportation on arbitrary streets it just doesn't make any sense.

There is no technology to help aging gracefully, it's in the respect and help of our peers and in our interactions with them, in the structure of our communities... Entering the sterile empty self driving car isn't actually more dignified than being picked up by a real human being. And sitting down in a tram or metro isn't less dignified than being shuttled around by a driverless vehicle.

It's not fuck Progress, it's fuck Cars, just because asbestos or coal power were progress at some point doesn't mean we should embrace them forever, the same goes for cars and self driving changes nothing about that. If cars still rule the world in 100 years we'll be dying even more than we already are.

Because they don't have a perfectly fine business model. They get squeezed hard by both the oligarchs of music publishing UMG, Sony Warner who negotiate the price for the music. And from the other side by the tech giants google and apple who can cross service subsidize their own streaming.There exists essentially no space for them to make any profit in streaming music. So they have to go other places.

The only reason they'll probably exist for the foreseeable future is because the rights holders are able to use Spotify to have more negotiating power against Google and apple.

Ich hoffe ja das die im großen Stile angepflanzte Spezies eben nun nicht mehr experimentell ist sondern halt nachhaltig, bzw. Ein fertiges Produkt. Ich bin auch durchaus Fan des wissenschaftlichen Fortschrits, aber er wird nicht nur vom Kapitalismus oft ad absurdum geführt.

Die spezielle Situation wo die Samen deiner früchte für den Anbau des nächsten Jahres zurückzuhalten, mit Diebstahl bzw. Liezensbruch bestraft werden kann ist ja nur der absurdeste Teil der Gesamtsituation. Die gesamte Agrarwirtschaft ist ein zusehends paradoxer Affront an die Natur in sich.

Jup wenn man sich sein Saatgut nicht selber zurück halten darf aufgrund von Lizenzen für Saatgut, und Gefahr läuft verklagt zu werden wenn Pflanzen von benachbarten Feldern zu einem überspringen. Dann hat der ganze Kram schon wieder niemandem geholfen.

Probably Keith haring, certainly he's the only one hanging in my room rn.

Brother have you heard of both young people, and the concept of 'having a future', death might be inevitable, it's still better to think about and implement things to quell the suffering, as well as to continue living with hope than to revel in the fact that we're all dying.

Hope isn't at the bottom of the box of Pandora without reason, it's both, condemning us to strive and suffer, and the only way to make anything of it.

The problem is obviously a general over reliance on motorized road transport and a continuing trend towards more.

Brother US (and maybe the UK) made the propaganda and the systems of the world, they are gonna be very effective for their goals.

Have you forgotten they are a superpower or something? They are the origin of that kind of red scare propaganda, and they always aimed most of it not at the inside but at everyone else.

It's certainly a saying here in Europe that we do what the US does ten years later (or that we do what they tell us to do) and it's a saying because it's core is true.

I listened to the entire and it struck a chord with me, it might be because I'm similarly petite bourgeois as the authors or something. But if you couldn't get through it I might suggest softly that you read chapter 4 first (or only).

To me the order the book has it in makes sense, but it might be the wrong one for you. It explains the What for 3/4 and then carefully answers the Why with a short story in the last 1/4. It is essentially a manifesto with a reason to believe in it as the last part.

For me the reason it worked is because the walk through philosophy and history sufficiently grounded the authors claims toward the necessity of economic planning and rewilding and in combination with my prior beliefs made the utopia real.

The problem that unfortunately remains with this book is how we get there, but to me it seems reasonable to leave that part out for this book, not just because of the violence and messiness, but also because it seems like the much harder part to coherently write as well.

Edit: I've played one round of the game and it's fun, perhaps a bit easy after knowing the content of the book.

People don't need to be able to buy cars. The vast majority can't anyways. So why should the second richest percent of Ethiopia be able to.

The not interested doesn't work, the don't recommend me videos from this channel works perfectly, and if the first video I get recommended of a channel is so repulsive to me I actually care to do something about it, the entire channel is probably bad anyways.

I've been playing beamNg for 4+ years and it's been in ea the entire time since 2015, possibly the best car game you can get for 20€.

Slay the spire I've also owned since early access, it's maybe the most beautiful single player card game to exist. Although it only spent 1-2 years in ea.

Don't be the first to buy ea games I guess but if the game is already fun why not.
