I’m old enough to remember when u could drive a car on the highway in relative peace. Society has become so boomerfied & zoomerfied that it’s like a nursing home & a children’s play pen all in one. Everything is “for your safety” and every service provider's priority is "your safety" - as if they actually give a shit about you. From the humiliation rituals at the airport, to the masks during lockdowns, to the helmets being enforced on scooters & their non allowance after 11pm in places like Oslo (in Spain they're banning under 21's from electric scooters...lol), to the modern cars that beep at you about everything from a seat belt, to lane change alerts on the highway. All of it is designed for the lowest common denominator of mid-wit. It's an insult to anyone with a brain and some agency. And for everyone else, it trains them to be ever more soy-jacked, dependent and useless. All the more reason to build a parallel society, including our own cars, our own cities, our own roads, our own social networks, our own airports, our own airlines and our own city-states. https://m.primal.net/JDUY.jpg
