It’s always a bummer when you go into these threads and you see all the doom and imagination-less folks mixing up calls for sobriety (= voluntary consumption reduction) with innovation break or regression.
- infecto 3y agoLike I already hinted to in my original post. We should be actively aware of our consumption of resources. I know these sort of discussions devolve into a binary debate similar to gun regulation discussions. I take the middle ground, I know cars are not going anywhere for a lot of the world and I am happy to see any innovations we can get. We should definitely be exploring other forms of transportation but again, the conversation here was about EVs and not building bike lanes.
- aziaziazi 3y agoTotally agree with that. I wasn’t responding to bike lanes but to (should have pointed it in first post): > we cut the population in 75%+ and go back to some kind of agrarian lifestyle? This seems to assume a population control will directly lead to an agrarian life. That may happen as a secondary effect. Some people (me included) think that won’t. It is a controversial subject but we’re definitely moving forward through the Overton window. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
