Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people’s brains. It is extremely powerful.

There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It’s been happening for many years … maybe centuries.

The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.

      I was going to disagree but not sure about cool. Bikes are fun to ride though. I miss mine.

      Looks like you posted this twice so I’m replying twice :)

        Efficient in terms of miles per gallon or liters/100km, sure, but unfortunately they are also heavier polluters. I obviously don’t want to give mine up, but the pollution means I would switch to electric as soon as it meets my needs and is affordable.
