You don’t have to be an old person to be regressive.
In my opinion, the people with the most world experience have always been the most progressive. It is a shame that The Silent Generation were not able to pass on their knowledge and experience to the current batch of misguided Millennials, Gen Y, Gen X and boomers who want things to be like they were in “The Old Days”, even though they don’t know how terrible “The Old Days” actually were.
For sure, but also phone have been deliberately engineered on the hardware and software level to be as addicting and habit forming as possible.
From attention grabbing chimes (not insane, you want to know when you’re messaged normally) to notification spam to superstimuli applications. We need to shift some responsibility on manufacturers for exploiting holes in human psychology.
Anti litter campaigns get you so far, putting bins everywhere gets you further. Work safety videos get you so far, lock out tag out systems take you further
I can’t believe the amount of people who are arguing over this.
If you are in control of 1.5 tonnes of something travelling at 60km/h you should;
If you are emotionally unable to leave your fucking phone alone, you shouldn’t be fucking driving!
Its a good thing everyone who shouldnt be driving can just decide to not drive and will not have their lives destroyed as a result!
No that is a problem with our society that we can do something about.
Unfortunately there are too many dinosaurs fighting for FrEeDoM and preventing any progress on Walkable Neighbourhoods.
is it the people who are currently old who are doing that? or is a system that creates people to perpetuate the system which does that?

My point was generations are not a viable way of expressing political issues, it’s capitalism the system not the dudes in charge
