If someone parks a car in an illegal area, it can and should be towed. Same for bikes. Part of the needed "biking infrastructure" is proper policing and enforcement.

It is perfectly possible to live in these places without cars as the primary means of transportation.

The solution for this is to improve biking infrastructure.

What you think is "terribly Ineffcient" can be also considered "perfectly acceptable and resilient to systemic shocks". Hyperfixation on efficiency gains is a disease of modern society.

Does it bother you so much to see people out there who can go on without their lives being shaped by the Corporations?

Oh, please. This reeks of a anglocentric worldview. Most places are like that. The exception to this rule is the US and franchise/chain restaurants that they have around the world.

You are once again taking the worst possible interpretation: every mutation is a "mistake" in the process of cellular duplication, that's all I said. Whether this "mistake" will have good or bad consequences will de

Amazing strawman you built here. Very impressive. Now try to argue the actual point, maybe?

1) Being a hinderance does not necessarily mean evolutionary dead-ends, and some traits can still be prevalent in populations because the diversity is what protects us from systemic environment shocks. 2) Perception and adherence of hiera

If we are talking about genes, the goal is to keep the ability to duplicate itself. If there is anything about this duplication process that has lead to the individual's brain development with difficulties to adapt to life with their t

Toeing the line? There is no underlying risk to any of that except the bet itself. Of course it is gambling.

The most natural way to roll this out would be to have a "blue/green" system, where both systems are running and the weekends would be the time to take the steps towards the migration. First set up the servers, integrate Auth

Not all inneficiencies are bad. If the cost to build ridiculously redundant systems is low enough, the system overall is more robust to black swan events than any central planner could ever be.
