When I was at uni doing a textile degree I’d get the train to uni because it was quicker but the bus home which took almost 2 hours. The train journey was a bus to town, a walk to the station, then a walk to uni. Neither part of the journey was more than 10 mins. But going home was a very long journey on a bus where I could get some knitting done and relax for a while. The added bonus was the number of older women on the bus who used to work in the northern mill towns and spoke to me about the days of textile mills. It was uni information that wasn’t in books and an absolute joy. I now have a car and while I love driving, I miss the ability to knit and meet strangers.

And in many situations, when actual travel time is comparable, high speed rail end up being faster than plane travel, as passengers end up closer to their intended final destination (city center versus 60+ minutes away), there is no baggage or security wait-time etc.

The 30 minute product presentation and the written essay is what we call "proof of work" in computer science - it's a brilliant way to achieve decentralised concensus, thus avoiding the "mob rule", i.e. 51% majority deciding over 49% - this often happens when one just leave people to vote without putting in any work (e.g. researching the options), then the votes will be "cheap" and the winning strategy is populism - that's why we see so much of that in politics. Winning by 51% is so common because people have vastly different preferences. The candidates offering faster/cheaper solutions win over candidates who would be really solving problems, because actual solutions are often hard, takes time and effort and can be hugely unpopular. The proof of work ensures those who vote put in effort, increasing the value of their vote and lowering average time preferences. Imagine that in order to vote, you'd have to pass a simple test to prove you have some basic knowledge about the parties and their programmes - it will slow down the voting process, but the quality would skyrocket and it would be much harder to just "buy" votes.

There’s a problem with that, a genuine problem which is very relevant to the real world. Proof of work/knowledge favours those who have the excess time resource to put in that work. If you work as a cleaner, doing two jobs one of which is shift-work until 4am, and taking the bus because you can’t afford a car…..then not only do you make bad dietary decisions, you *also* don’t have time to do in-depth research of which political party has your interests at heart. Whereas the well-paid corporate lobbyist, whose day-job is to influence those same politicians, can put in as many hours a day as they like, to both research those policies, and make them happen by subtle skewing of debate. Rule by experts may well produce “better” policies. But it also produces policies that are very *unfair* to those at the bottom of the pile. It’s exactly why democracy one-man-one-vote is both vital, and a fragile flower.

The ability for people to house and feed themselves "providing services" disappears. Everyone will be required to engage in the ACTUAL tasks required to sustain their living and no-one will be absolved of this responsibility. Certainly, no individual will be FORCED to work so that another may live, however this will still allow the freedom for individuals and small societies to decide to provide for those who cannot (the elderly, children, disabled etc.).

Here is an insight. We had a bus service that was always on time. In rain, snow, sun. The village commuters swallowed the idea that a train service would be better, because we already had old tracks but the train line had been abandoned decades earlier. So after much lobbying, the tracks were renovated and new bombardier trains were introduced. Moral of the story - the trains are never on time. Snow hinders them, rain hinders them, sun hinders them. It is a shitty substitute that costs plenty.

A few of us bikers worked out the speed thing years ago. We noticed on a very long trip that some bikers would blast off and disappear, only to stop for petrol or pee and within a few minutes we would catch them up. So we did an experiment, some of us sat at the limit of 70mph and others went blasting off at speeds of their own choosing. Unless you are going at ridiculously fast speeds it made little to no difference because you could NEVER reach such speeds as to make a substantial difference.

I was in a car travelling home at around 60 for the dual carriageway part of the trip. Some friends were making the same journey, but I knew they'd travel around 70mph. But I didn't need to stop for fuel, while they needed to. The duel carriageway part of the journey was around 30 miles and was the only part of the journey in which we had much choice as to what speed we would travel at. I worked out that during those 30 miles, I'd take half an hour and the other car would travel an extra 5 miles in that time. So all I needed to do to get home first was travel more than 5 miles in the time it took them to fill up with fuel. When I got home, I knew they would follow in (time spent at petrol station minus 5 minutes) and I had the tea ready for their arrival. This surprised them.

This really changed my thinking about speeding. He's totally right. Going 80 when I'm allowed to go 70 isn't doing much of anything for my ETA. Now I'm going to go 60 or more in my route to get to the highway.. those 30-40 mph bits. Takes off way more time!

I found the part about Men enjoying the commute to work very interesting and true. I work in a small Cafe 30 miles from where I live and no one understands why i dont work in one closer to home. Truth is I actually really really enjoy the drive there and its a great work environment which is a bonus

Really entertaining and educational. While I see what Rory said about the assumption of ‘speed over enjoyment’ has influenced the rules of transportation, I think that the truth is in the ‘use-case’ nuances. Some value speed because the need is to be at a location on time and come back. Some value the enjoyment because their need is to experience the transport. It is safe to bet that the transportation companies have done their research and know where the majority of their potential customers are, and therefore optimize their experience to that need. To Rory’s credit, these companies could customize their experience by asking users a few questions about their goals and priorities before they offer fares. Something like: want to get their fast? Or want to get the scenic route?....

I think it's important to consider what else the companies could do to make the journey better. Would people care if their train took a longer time to arrive if they were comfortable and entertained? I don't think they would. Rory is railing against that assumption that "faster is better".

Several of the points he makes remind me strongly of my time as trips co-ordinator in a secondary school. Each trip needed a risk assessment. "It's OK," they would say, "I've got the one from last year." "That's not a risk assessment." "Yes it is, and it's by Frank, who is really good and.." "That's not a risk assessment." "Why?" "A risk assessment is you thinking the trip through, spotting what might go wrong, evaluating it, minimising hazards and being sure you know what your contingencies are. THEN you write it down as a summary in case you need evidence later." Without going through the process, the paper is worthless; worse, it's deceptive, because it makes you think you are well-prepared when you're not.

I remember back in the 1970s when I was going on a mountain climbing day trip from school, one of the parents asked if it was dangerous, only if you fall off was the reply

@bparker062 ай бұрын
While I think this is great advice, I had to re-read this several times to try to figure out what you actually meant by it. I *think* what you are saying is that there may be *new* risks that you are actually already aware of, that weren't in Frank's version, that may be missed if you did not take the time to think about it in the process of creating your new assessment.

Rory is allot of fun. I like listening to him… I am aware that these are all very British issues or feelings… travelling to Japan for example reveals a very different view on time and technology. I would go as far as to say that things are already very different on the continent, let alone Asia, Middle East etc etc. I am also aware that an ad agency, which promotes over consumption, is hosting a talk series about “other” types of optimisation.

That slow-ai concept is fascinating. Imagine it going away for a week, coming back with incisive questions for the user, and making a really thoughtful response. Not sure our current LLM's are up for that, being mostly slightly interesting predictive text engines.

At about the 28 minute mark, he brings up something that I personally think accurately depicts the function and consequence of using generative AI; the basic notion of 'journey vs destination'. Cleo Abram has a video regarding AI in music, and unknowingly, what she promotes at about 2.40 minutes into the video is the modern collapse of creativity, she calls it 'The Gap'. I can't tell you how saddened I was when I first saw her video months ago. To keep it short, she almost literally says, "If you want to create something, don't learn how to create it, just get AI to create it for you."

Concorde strikes me as an example of this. It was an incredible engineering feat for sure but in the end maybe it was beaten by thinking of a human rather than a machine. Someone realised business people travelling between NY and London would be better off if they could sleep on a lie-flat bed or have a decent area to work and actually appreciate the extra time it took. To reinforce that point, I heard that during the spring when the jet stream is at its strongest, some people prefer to fly to Europe from the west coast of the US rather than the east coast because the trip is too fast to get a decent night's sleep.

In an era dominated by instant gratification-where information is consumed in bite-sized portions, and results are expected at the speed of a click-our capacity for patience seems to be dwindling. Intelligence, on the other hand, requires time: time to reflect, to critically analyze, and to make connections between complex ideas. The question then arises-are we, as a society, too impatient to fully develop and exercise our intelligence? The rush for quick solutions often undermines the deeper thinking and problem-solving required for true intellectual growth.

Finally I can hear someone say publicly somethig I've been telling my friends for ages. Things like sliding doors sliding sloowwllyy which don't let me go through at my chosen pace without alternative with handle/push/pull option drive me mad. Or when I can't be served because of the AI system failure. Or when I hear that an electronic system of a car can disable it for actually no reason at all, because some sensors are ridiculously electronically sensitive. You can go on with such absurdities forever.
