    I learned that after I starting looking more into CGP greys videos. He straight up knew GGS was a bad source and used it as his main talking point because fuck it.

      CGP Grey is such an odd person. Charming, good presentation, sometimes has weird takes.

      His video on how to solve traffic uses “mass automatic cars talking to each other” which ignores hundreds of thousands city planners and other actual experts advice: public transit.

        that was actually one of the videos that made me start looking into the other stuff he was saying. He’s a tech optimist to a fault.

        Worth noting that “solution” was strongly promoted when I sold cars. If you do have some from of assistive cruise control you should use it.
