The libs are completely right in all of their insights about cars. It's not even an urban/rural thing, the walkable town is just the historically normative way people live.

They offer no constructive suggestions, can't build nice places, don't know how to make density child-friendly, and won't address the elephant in the room, but they aren't wrong either.

Right it's not helpful to childhood development or independence to be able to navigate the world without relying on an adult at all

America is not the Shire. We may want it to be, and we may treat it as such if we wish, but we are here because we are creatures of the frontier.

There will be many more frontiers to come, God willing, and they will be our children's birthright. This is literally what we are bred for.

Long adventure, short hopeless last stands.

I’m descended from settlers that means they left the American south after the civil war, the colonies after the revolution, the British isles and continental Europe before that, we are a people on the move the idea that your ancestors wouldn’t try something new is just false

Take heart, 93rd percentile man! This is actually way less Pareto-distributed than I’d expect.

I'm actually quite bullish on humanoid farming robots.
You can mechanize 600 acres of corn easily with existing technology, but much harder to do is small quantities of varied local produce.

I live in the middle of some of the best farmland in the world, and yet the greens at the store are wilted, expensive, and from California.

THIS ISN'T A REAL ROBOT… YET. BUT THE ECONOMICS BEHIND IT COULD CHANGE FARMING FOREVER.

What you're watching is a concept of what future agricultural robots could look like—not a commercial product.

But the problem they're designed to solve is very real.

Many farms struggle to find enough seasonal workers every year, and labor costs continue to rise. In some regions, a single full-time field worker can cost $45,000–$60,000 per year once wages, transportation, housing, and other expenses are included.

Now imagine a humanoid robot capable of harvesting crops, carrying equipment, inspecting fields, and working long shifts with only scheduled maintenance.

Industry experts expect next-generation humanoid robots to eventually reach prices around $80,000-$140,000 as manufacturing scales. If that happens, many large farms could recover the investment within just a few harvest seasons while reducing labor shortages.

The biggest question is no longer if robots will work in agriculture...

It's how soon they'll become a normal part of every farm.
