On the one hand I hate a society with cameras all over the place, monitoring every aspect of our lives in order to fix one issue. I don’t want to end up in a super controlled environment, where everything we do is tracked and we are punished if it doesn’t conform to some arbitrary standard. Especially if that standard can change depending on whichever dipshit is in charge this week. And abuse is right around the corner, with cameras installed for one purpose quietly being used for a whole other purpose.
On the other hand, I ride my bike to work every day and the way people drive has gotten way worse the past few years. Cars have gotten huge and people just don’t care at all about their fellow man. Those big cars give a sense of safety and disconnect the driver from their environment. So driving too fast is easier and a form of complacency can set in, not paying attention or thinking they can get away with more than they actually can. We are also moving towards a very selfish and individualistic society. This means people being busy on their phones even while driving. But also cars that are super loud and emit way more emissions than really necessary.
So I would actually like a bit more regulation and actual enforcement of the regulation that’s already in place. The number of near death life flashing before your eyes moments I’ve had trying to ride my bike to work has increased to an uncomfortable level. I’d wish people would care a bit more about their fellow man and the world, but alas it’s not to be i’m afraid.
