@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs@kolektiva.social i like things to work better than before, i can get down with some 'efficiencies' but "at the expense of what" is an indispensable question and the kind of efficiency we have now refuses even to acknowledge that its at the expense of anything! instead its always framed as Abstract and Pure Efficiency.
@julieofthespirits @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs@kolektiva.social i always think about how many critters (over 1 million a day) are killed by cars for the 'efficiency' of speed that roads provide and the way they're generalized over so much space humans have claimed.
@exiliaex @julieofthespirits @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs Yep, an efficient, high quality road system is great when it's time to move some ambulances.
But a great road system can also move logging trucks and mining equipment into previously inaccessible areas.
