Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe | Alexander Hurst
> From emissions to road deaths, the trend for ever-bigger SUVs is a disaster. We need regulation to turn the car industry back to smaller vehicles

I wonder how many eye doctors are getting an uptick in "night vision problems," a thing that is actually because some asshole engineer decided headlights should be blue now.

Lesson #3: Proportional representation weakens democracy by making it harder to middle common ground within parties and creating opportunities for niche parties to become extremist in a bid to earn profile. Thank God #Canada does not have proportional representation

Lesson #2: the lifestory of the leader does not guarantee commitment to democratic principles. Yes, the VVD leader is a former refugee with a Turkish name, but she shunned immigrants and turned her back on principles of inclusion and pluralism that define 21st century democracy https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/23/dilan-yesilgoz-zegerius-former-refugee-wants-cut-immigration-first-female-dutch-pm

Lesson #1 from the Dutch election: When a centre-right party signals openness to the far-right party, voters choose the far-right party instead. The ruling VVD lost power after signalling their openness to coalition with the notorious racist Geert Wilders. The Dutch have shown that racist voters want racist leaders, not big-tent centrists.

Think the first step in #SystemsThinking is defining the boundary? If the systems sciences are an open system, then learning involves the sweeping-in process. Excerpt from #CWestChurchman (1982) _Thought and Wisdom_.

For the @RSDSymposium in October, an "Explaining Systems Changes Learning: Methods & Translations", an in-person workshop was conducted in Toronto. Interested in joining in our rhythm of triweekly meetings?

Heard just now on the BBC Newscast podcast:
“I'll challenge you at the BBC, why don't you guys make a news app like Twitter where all your reporters just post? I would sign up for that in a minute, and I would pay $5 a month for it.”
Yes BBC, why don't you get your reporters on your existing social.bbc domain? It's right there and more badly needed than ever. Be the leaders you know you can be.

Problem 2️⃣ : Car bloat worsens climate change
Heavier cars require more energy to move, which makes them guzzle gas.
When electrified, their huge batteries are so inefficient that the biggest models generate more pollution that some gas-powered sedans.
