phoenix-objection-1 phoenix-objection-2 I meant personal automobiles. Bicycles aren’t anywhere near as dangerous so I thought it kinda went without saying but I understand why you might think of them lol

And when I said “anyone” I meant like, absent the influence of cars. Like if we took a person and presented them societies with different organizations of travel, weighing their costs, efficiencies, threat to life, etc, I don’t think anyone who didn’t grow up in this culture would pick this shit on an objective basis. Which is why I said “we’re just used to it.”
