Cars are animals that borrowed humans for brains.

@ezchili @mitgibs @stux in that case, cars are the most economically contributing animal and we are the most dependent on it. It has defeated the horse, and so far no replacement is in sight, I think the biggest failure point of cars is the actual “brain”, the advanced primate driving this machine, multiplied by billions of other primates, will cause a significant amount of problems.

@CODom @ezchili @mitgibs @stux Just to be very clear. Most people didn’t have a horse or have access to a horse. Cars defeated walkable cities, transit including intercity trains, bicycles and density.

@PaulYyz @ezchili @mitgibs @stux Comparing feudal times with modern capitalism is not a sensible thing to do in the first place, demand is still roughly the same, but supply improved a lot over the years.

@CODom @ezchili @mitgibs @stux I don’t know where feudal entered the car conversation but for the past 100 years, cars have dominated North American development, planning and society. We live to support the automobiles appetite for space, energy, and human lives. I’ll leave this conversation as I need to DRIVE to my job. I didn’t always think this way but the #OrangePill has come for me.

@PaulYyz @ezchili @mitgibs @stux I’ve forgotten about the American side of this problem, here in Europe it’s much closer to the optimal car to non-car transport ratio, and considering this is a Swedish artist, I don’t think there is a lot you can do by anti-car policies here in europe.
Often I am quite shocked when I look at US cities on google maps and see the area designated for parking.
