I'm sorry, but if I'm in a tin can 30,000 feet in the air, defying gravity, I'm going to freak out at the smallest bit of turbulence, whether it's rational or not.
- quonn 10y agoMoving at 100 mph in a car does not seem exactly natural either.
- drcode 10y agoMy lizard brain disagrees with you.
- ceejayoz 10y agoA "lizard brain" (besides being a hypothesis largely dismissed by neuroscientists) seems unlikely to have any reference point or other handling for "I'm sitting in a tube 30,000 feet up at 700mph". Similar to how we're basically incapable of thinking about numbers like a billion dollars effectively.
- bdamm 10y agoInterestingly there is a great deal of work that weather services, air traffic control, and pilots do to avoid turbulence for this exact reason.
