Are you suggesting it’s safer than Australia?
Mexico on the right for reference: 
From an efficiency standpoint you’re definitely correct, but I think most appreciate the flexibility they provide.
Ideally I’d want optimised roads with a broader emphasis on alternative public transportation networks.
But really, they are projected to save up to 3 tons of fuel per day and reduce emissions by 30%.
Apparently they can save up to 3 tons of fuel per day and reduce emissions by up to 30%.
Pretty cool idea.
I’ve changed my perspective on this proposal.
Incentives matter and a trustless implementation matters.
Most importantly, the longevity of Bitcoin matters.

We aren’t devolving quickly enough for these bastards.
If you lived during the Agricultural Revolution or the Industrial Revolution, would you be able to fathom the scale of the transformative shifts underway and their implications for human civilisation?
Due to our survival instincts, humans have an inherent negativity bias, which makes it challenging to equally weight the positive changes which are taking place.
Here are a few technologies that make me optimistic for humanity's future:
- Bitcoin
- Nostr
- Permaculture, aquaculture and vertical farming
- Water harvesting
- Solar and fusion
- Lithium-ion and nickel–hydrogen battery storage
- Linux and BSD
- Quantum compute
- AI / ML
- Robotics and automation
- Material engineering
- 3D printing
Technological change carries existential risk for humanity, from societal and birth rate collapse to information, kinetic and biological warfare.
But it's easy to see the negative without truly appreciating the extraordinary potential of these technologies for humanity.
We are living in revolutionary times.

Finally deleted Twitter yesterday and this nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe clip from the 4-hour #Bitcoin Infinity Day Special did it.
For the past several weeks, my bias has been to post here. And every time I went back to take a look, all I saw were things that the algorithm wanted me to see.
It remains to be seen what #Nostr means for humanity, but I do know for sure what it means for me. If I have a choice to plants the seeds of hope and positivity or the seeds of fear and outrage, I’m going to choose the former all day. 🤙

"fear and outrage" is a perfect way of describing the Twitter / X platform.
something I have considered in the past - is the algo trained to intentionally create this experience, or is this a reflection of the users generating the data?
i worry it is the latter.
“Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of $800m of land to build utopian city”
Group Flannery Associates, backed by prominent investors, quietly buy 55,000 acres of farmland in Northern California
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/26/silicon-valley-elites-buy-800m-land-new-city
building a modern city is honestly not such a bad idea:
- roads designed for self-driving vehicles would make transportation extremely inexpensive
- modern construction techniques result in much higher energy efficiency
- solar and storage could make energy production practically free
- underground internet / utilities are more reliable
- larger emphasis on green spaces
- permaculture and vertical farming can produce much more food per hectare
- city could be designed to better harvest rainfall and keep it on the land
