An example of how we abide by working norms rather than going with the flow of nature
I often think about how we designed our whole country (here in the US especially) around cars, not around people.
Totally! I read this satire in school where aliens visit earth and they think cars are actually the dominant species. It's pretty funny. I tried to Google and find it. This is all I could find. Not sure sure if its the same one, but it's close: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-19/this-1960s-cartoon-hilariously-mocks-america-s-car-obsession
I have this video open in another window and will listen with sound! I can't get enough of satire like that; sci-fi will often use this device too, and it's just great every single time. So useful.
