    Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

    Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

    It’s also pretty fun to drive.

    Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.












  • I’m not convinced by any mass society that is altruistic, but it’s very simple to see that the natural state of human small groups is quite communal.

    What mother has a ledger for the child’s share of food?

    We have an entire feeling brain that’s dedicated to relationship building that’s very much the core of most small group relationships.

    I’m also very convinced that this model does not work past Dunbar’s Number (~100-150 individuals), and most attempts at building communal society outside of that without some cohersion and some better way of organizing incentives is not possible.
