I’m old enough to remember when u could drive a car on the highway in relative peace.

Society has become so boomerfied & zoomerfied that it’s like a nursing home & a children’s play pen all in one.

Everything is “for your safety” and every service provider's priority is "your safety" - as if they actually give a shit about you.

From the humiliation rituals at the airport, to the masks during lockdowns, to the helmets being enforced on scooters & their non allowance after 11pm in places like Oslo (in Spain they're banning under 21's from electric scooters...lol), to the modern cars that beep at you about everything from a seat belt, to lane change alerts on the highway.

All of it is designed for the lowest common denominator of mid-wit. It's an insult to anyone with a brain and some agency. And for everyone else, it trains them to be ever more soy-jacked, dependent and useless.

All the more reason to build a parallel society, including our own cars, our own cities, our own roads, our own social networks, our own airports, our own airlines and our own city-states.

Does the lane change beep when someone is in the lane next to you? Or just changing lanes?

Mine beeps when backing up and someone passes behind me. Annoying? Yes. But sometimes useful in busy areas.
