  • The problem I see is that I can think of 3 paths forward when 30-40% of the population thinks this way:

    1. we can eliminate them from the population through violence, deportation, jail, whatever. That’s the same sort of genocidal behavior we’re objecting to from them, and is a nonstarter

    2. we can override their votes, and work hard for generations to keep them suppressed. While more humane than 1, this likely isn’t feasible, and is likely to radicalize them

    3. we turn them. Convince them that they were wrong, and bring them around to our way of thinking. This is hard work, but it’s the only stable and humane option I can think of.

    So yes, much as it may suck, anything that brings about option 3 is the best action I can see. Including treating MAGA far better than they treat us.








  • Reading through the article, it seems like one scenario is that a vehicle stopped at an intersection might be about to pull out, endangering another vehicle about to cross? It seems like the thinking is, if you notice a front/side brake light stops being lit as you approach the intersection, it might indicate they’re about to accelerate - be cautious!

    I’m not fully convinced either, it seems like a lot of the benefit they’re projecting is based on analysis of historical collisions, rather than any kind of experimental results. It sounds like the study is to justify expanding research to that sort of simulated experimentation, though - I’m curious what that kind of testing would find.
