Has anyone explicitly compared the deliberate restucturing of the legislative and built environment that supported #motornormativity and the present day efforts to enforce the use of LLMs? I suspect those pushing LLMs are well aware of opium and tobacco as business models (state sponsored dependency) but the enforced transformation of work and public spaces (and the erasure of competing solutions - cycling, trams), the attack on environmental regulations and public health concerns-- this feels like the enforced transition to cars is also a model for them.

@emilymbender or others - is this well trodden and I just missed the references?

Seeing how it is actually possible to reduce the number of cars and how much the remaining cars pollute even in large cities – and how that has a real tangible effect on children's health and well being makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

A better world is possible. Not just in theory.

Imagine if everybody who could, would take the commuter train or cycle, or both. Would not only reduce the 45 deaths per million inhabitants from roads, but likely also make a significant dent into the EU average of 3364 deaths per million inhabitants yearly from cardiovascular diseases alone (2022):

I.e., merely sitting in a car is also deadly.
