  • This is a ridiculous idea that no serious journalist abides by. Journalism is inherently political and biased. Just choosing WHAT to report on, when and how prominently, it’s already political. And believe it or not, humans aren’t really capable of ignoring their biases when producing any kind of writing. Even if you try very hard, you won’t see where you’re biased, that’s kind of the nature of biases.

    What journalists should do is always be upfront about where they are coming from and where they stand. To not hide behind “neutrality” and “objectivity”. That really doesn’t exist and only makes readers misinformed as they believe the biased reporting of a journalist is objective reality.


  • I don’t love this idea that the perfect future is everyone has their own urban garden and we all grow food… that’s going back, that’s regression. The fact that the vast majority of people don’t have to grow food for us to survive as species is MAIN benefit of this whole thing we call civilization. If the future is going back to “everyone does everything” we’re fucked.

    Many cities have already banned cars in their centers. It’s not a “what if”. It’s been done and works. And it takes as long to build those garages as it’d take to build those solar parks. And not like they couldn’t be done at the same time. Like instead of building solar over the car parks, why not spend the time and resources building them over warehouses and apartments?

    That’s a false dichotomy. I can choose a third option. Where we place car parking garages (multi-level above or underground) all around ring roads and ban cars from entering city centers. Then we put solar panels on top of most roofs, and in fields for grazing animals.

    This obsession with car parks is exclusively American.
