    This is something where I think we could set a standard "engine noise" that is loud enough for safety but doesn't carry into people's bedrooms and it would be a positive for society with no downsides whatsoever - which is why it will never happen.

      ok now, come on, automobile safety standards have absolutely improved. that is a positive with no downsides. "Humanity never does anything worthwhile for iteself" is certainly a take.

        I was being cheeky. While our society is objectively less capable of doing good things than it was in previous generations, it is still capable of doing those things from time to time.
