[TS]
00:04:27
◼

[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
and clarity of stop signs
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
alright well that is a that's something
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
we should read our congresspeople about

00:04:36
◼
►
yeah shake it stop signs were only twice
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
as big and twice as clear
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
yeah and this is just this feed all into
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
your into the supertrain notion of where
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
stop signs will fit into things do you
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
have a solution for somebody like my
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
grandmother contractor soul haha
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
there shouldn't be stop signs that
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
should be traffic circle but more
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
importantly I think the solution to the
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
problem with your grandmother yeah like
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
the solution to the problem that I had
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
with my dad as he got older my dad did
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
not go senile and all he was sharp as a
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
tack I'll too sharp but he began to
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
drive his car up on the sidewalk with
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
with a concerning regularity because I
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
think he just stopped giving a fuck
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
he was coming to an intersection at a
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
you know into a like he'd make a corner
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
let's say at a speed that he felt was
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
appropriate and he would he just cut the
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
angle who and he'd go up onto the
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
sidewalk and he would I mean when I
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
inherited my dad's car
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
cookie cookie number two would be number
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
two it had a broken axle it had the
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
entire front end was wrecked it was and
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
and it was the same thing i would i
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
would get in his car and I'd say dad
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
your car's got a weird shimmy and go
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
home no it's always been like that and
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
I'd say no it's not it hasn't always
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
been like that i feel like i am on a I
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
feel like we are driving in on a dyson
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
vacuum cleaner it did there it has no
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
it's not tracking the road he did what
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
no notes that's how it came from the
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
factory and eventually I determined that
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
he was just he was he was basically one
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
he was one small stroke away from
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
driving through a farmers market at 65
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
miles an hour horrible and so my
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
solution to your grandmother and my
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
agent father and everyone's aging
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
parents senile or no is that as you get
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
older there you should have to take more
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
frequent drivers exams it should be more
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
and more difficult for you to drive
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
I have a car by yourself when you are 85
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
years old this is part of the supertrain
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
that is so super train this is part of
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
the supertrain like a sort of
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
paternalistic society that we're going
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
to have where most people in the prime
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
of their life are free to do whatever
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
they want but when you are young and
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
when you are old you are monitored more
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
closely because you do not have the
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
cognitive faculty to make good choices
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
I've actually been thinking a lot about
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
this and let like all eternity envisions
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
it is ultimately truly dystopian in
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
order for your sister to work it seems
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
like you know Hitler thought he was
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
helping a lot of people write it yeah he
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
helped a lot of German people who
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
and-and-and-and I so here's the thing
[TS]
