  I made an attempt to read that guy’s book once. Holy hell the man is a nutter, and not a writer by any means.

  I made it a quarter of the way through, if that. Absolute waffle.

  Industrial revolution stands on the shoulders of a giant called the agricultural revolution.

  I brake for hunter gatherers.

    Yeah, I see the industrial revolution as an inevitable consequence of the agricultural revolution.

    Which is to say:
    The agricultural revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

  Fun fact: You wouldn’t be driving behind them or honking your horn if it wasn’t for the industrial revolution.

  The more you know…

    You wouldn’t be driving […]

    God that’d have been nice. I rarely drive my car but even that’s too much for me. "Hi, yes I would love to sit still staring at another car’s bumper for long periods of time where not focusing entirely could kill myself and others. I LOVE being required by urban planning to do that and LOVE being required to spend tens of thousands on maintaining the luxury of it

      I fortunately am not dependent on cars for my daily transportation. I’ve barely driven in my life, don’t even have a licence, but I love road trips and driving in simulations.

      But not moving at all, or relatively to dense traffic is not what I like about that, driving as mass transportation sucks.

  I read his writing for the first time recently. It certainly sticks with you. I still take issue with some of his stances.

    I was about to say, you nod along with Ted until he starts into the racist bits.

      Also his entire argument, which is pretty well-structured, completely hinges on certain things he just takes for granted. Namely, that the number of people that would be harmed by his approach might be far greater than continuing on this path. I don’t know whether he’s right or wrong about that, but it’s PRETTY CRUCIAL, and I feel there’s tons of room for nuance. He, in his frustration, reduced the potential deaths of tens of millions (if not more) to, “Eh. Fuck it, it’s probably better,” best I can tell. He has plenty of diagnoses, but no real remedies or cures.

  Ironic that someone put this on vehicle powered by gasoline but I suppose that’s the crux of the issue; we can just ignore the consequences of our actions as long is doesn’t immediately effect us. In this case they’re part of the cohort of people that drive to work everyday and indirectly cause the deaths of hundreds of millions of poor people on the other side of the world that they inherently don’t give shit about. Mostly in Africa and India, who gives a fuck about them right?

    Cool story bro, what about the hundred of millions of people that have died from pollution. Are they better off to?
