    Being apart from the norm isn’t an indication of correctness or incorrectness

    Being extremely apart of norm usually is.

    majority of those who lived in socialist countries that dissolved socialism regret said dissolution

    That’s just plainly wrong. Entire communism in Central-Eastern Europe was dissolved in 1988-90 through fair and democratic elections with overwhelming majority of people voting against communism. And I live in one of these states. Noone is missing that sick, perverted system.
















  • Personal transport can be fixed with better urban design and EVs for the edge cases.

    I’m literally the guy who lives in large EU city with excellent public transport, and who has no car and lives near the metro station to maximize all its benefits.

    As a 100% public transport commuter I can tell you, the correct way do develop infrastructure is to have solid mix of car infrastructure with network of busses trams and metro integrated into it. You just can’t magically replace cars with busses, trams and metro for everyone. And car drivers will never going to be minority, because it’s impossible to replace flexibility of the car.

    A good amount of aircraft can be replaced with high speed rail or sleeper trains.

    High speed trains have the tiny issue of super expensive infrastructure that has to be built and maintained, while you can make airport almost anywhere. Would I want EU wide unified high speed train infrastructure that allows travel from Warsaw to Paris in few hours? Hell yes I would. But I have no delusions that you can make rail everywhere because costs are just too high, and flexibility isn’t good enough for all use cases.
