Down voting because the article doesn’t show any of the designs without (I imagine) watching a video and the site steals your back navigation on mobile to take you to another page.

That’s the part I didn’t understand either. You’re not. You can’t. Because that’s how the city was built. But if the city was built differently a married couple of professionals could get to work without a car.

There’s more to it than this. Check out the Not Just Bikes YouTube channel for the whole story

Ffs please tell me you are joking

Is there a burpee equivalent that is easier on the knees?

Oh I fully agree. Car dependency was easier to type than all the stuff you said which is a fuller analysis.

But car dependency is definitely not the root cause…

The system can be greatly improved, but I'd still rather interact with people than machines.

And then they still asked for a tip. I hate these kinds of places and actively avoid them.

The only true solution to this is seldom mentioned: Real life. "Word of mouth" can still happen (and should happen) by reals words, uttered in the physical world, by real mouths, in the physical world.

I suspect many of our current societal ills are caused by too much information spreading too quickly, not forced to go through a multitude of brains or stand the tests of time.

Ah yes, the old “guns don’t kill people, I do”

They wouldn’t…would they? /s

I'm assuming it was sarcasm.

Perhaps. But I wonder how much of this completely passive entertainment was in our ancestral environment? Before 50 years ago, the percentage of all humans who had ever experienced the symphony was so low it was essentially zero. Perhaps the boredom is integral to good living?

The answers to all of those questions would be parroted from other research, and to the extent they were novel they would be incorrect.

This is a common rebuttal, but it doesn’t hold water

I've occasionally thought about getting into RC planes, but the piloting of them always seemed too hard. I'd love some links to what you're talking about if you have some to recommend?

Do you have any evidence for this?
