terminal car brain

The entire thing that's been sold to car drivers for a good 70 years now is like this sense of freedom to go anywhere at all times quickly that a car's supposed to give you. I mean look at car ads, it's always some suave guy driving the thing either through a beautiful landscape or moving swiftly through a city but shockingly wherever he goes, he's the only person there.

And that's the only way a car ever not sucks shit to get anywhere. When you're alone or very near that. So it works for some rural drives, sometimes, but then usually every other schmuck also wants the same freedom (and possibly paid out the ass for it) so it just doesn't happen.

So you have a man who paid thousands of dollars for an experience he just doesn't get so now he's angry as fuck, but the entire culture around it has suggested to him that his car ain't the problem, it's all the others.

You see it everywhere once you notice it. Listen to debates on traffic sometimes and then listen to car drivers. Their entire access to the debate is pretty much filtered through a lense of solipsism, and i don't even mean the turbochuds who complain about the bike mafia or how public transport is communism or whatever, regular ass people including leftists, do this shit.
