It’s concerning how easily history can repeat itself if we don’t learn from it. The segment on electric vehicles also resonated – the focus on individual profit over societal benefit seems deeply ingrained in our current system. It’s almost like we’re stuck in a crazy cattle 3d model, blindly following the profit motive without considering the larger consequences.

It reminds me of focusing solely on speed boosts in Snow Rider – you might win the race, but miss the scenic route and some cool jumps! Maybe a more holistic approach is needed, both in economics and virtual snowboarding. https://snowridergame.io
