Right, and I don’t have kids so why am I paying for kids to go to public school? And I have never had to call the fire department, my taxes should not go to them!

The argument that taxes should only be used for things you use is wrong. The whole point of taxes is to benefit society as whole. Roads are used for many purposes and for different reasons. No one owns the roads! They’re public!

More than 20 years, peak car ridership occurred in the 1970s which was close to 80% of urban transportation done by car. That number is now down to 19% of all urban transportation done by car.

Amsterdam also had backing from the public to transition to bike and public transportation.

Absolutely we should invest in public transportation! And you are right that cities have decided to create public transportation, and then did! But it took a decade plus to plan, build and implant the new system. That’s also ignoring the millions and billions of dollars needed.

Sure! But that’s not a silver bullet.

Decarbonization is a multi-prong solution and switching everything over to public transportation would take decades. It takes time to create the infrastructure and generations to change minds. Investing in public transportation, bike infrastructure and electrifying our cars are all necessary for our goal to lower green house gasses.

Perfect is the enemy of good

I always say this to annoy my math and science friends

Engineers live in the real world

Scientists live in the ideal world

And mathematicians… live in their own world

Ah yeah kinda, The two particles would be in a super position state. Meaning that there could be a number of possible states and each state has a certain probability.

The reason quantum entanglement is so weird, Is that by measuring one Particle changes the state of the other particle, it is in fact spooky action at a distance. How these particles communicate with each other is unknown but we cannot use it as a communication method because the act of measuring one of the particles destroys the entanglement. The states of the particles are random before we measure it. There is no state at which both particles agree upon before they’re separated.

When the two particles are entangled, no “information” is communicated. So we can think of it as The particles exchanging random information that has no use to anything. This solves the faster than light communication problem because no real information is sent, Only random data. They’re experiments that try to test this hypothesis called the quantum eraser.

Hell, in 2019 conspiracy theorists We’re advocating to wear a mask to thwart facial recognition software. Now wearing a mask is being part of the world elite!
