The Moloch of Convenience

Head is spinning, supposed to work but I got into the Bender's again IT IS VERY GOOD WHISKEY PPL, plus I'm digtesting a lot about how we as a society don't mind flaying a few youths periodically for the Moloch of convenience. Nevermind that it isn't particularly convenient. I can get downtown faster on a bike from sellwood ya know

anyway I am not shitting you when I say living your life on a bike is life altering mood improving horizon expanding humanity connecting freedom enhancing. I have also lived, do also still live, a life where I drive places in cars so I know this both ways. Most dutchmen speak English but few Englishmen speak Dutch, in the cars-vs-bikes thing I'm a Dutchman. I KNOW CARS TOO Y’ALL.

and lemme tell you the bike is spiritually superior and cars are draining your soul our cities our towns our countryside our planet. I felt this way really acutely, I dunno 15 years ago when I began riding more than driving but after a while I mellowed. I thought The world doesn't need my bike evangelism right?

But no, actually it does.

Heres your moment of liberation. Your soul our cities our towns our countryside our planet don't need to be organized for the pleasure of the Moloch of convenience. You can walk away from Omelas. Or ride away, that works too.

And Bender's Whisky, it's good too
