I absolutely agree! I think we should lower speed limits not just for cars, but for life in general: economic systems and the internet should have speed limits.

I absolutely agree! I think we should lower speed limits not just for cars, but for life in general: economic systems and the internet should have speed limits. And I'm being serious. Ivan Illich talks about this in his book [1] and I tend to agree with most of it after a lot of thought.
[1] Illich, Ivan. "Energy and equity." (1974).
- thsksbd 3y agoThe guy who agrees with me reads Ivan Illich!!! I've never read too much of him (no time, I have many of his books), but his argument that cars, on average, have an effective speed of 5 kph blew my mind. That flipped my understanding of cars. The irony is that he was a far left hippie who flirted with getting defrocked and I am supposed to be a "far right" conservative (whatever that means). Have you read E.F. Schumacher? "Small is beautiful" is right your alley.
