my whole fucking point is that roads in the US didn't start with highways

highways in the US came about because of American car culture and fossil fuel policy

so American cars are American highways as far as how intertwined they are, this idea is so old it is literally a plot point in fucking Roger Rabbit

the internet today isn't the internet 5 years ago, you the end personal user is no longer the focus of the infrastructure in the same way no one gives a shit about the horse drawn buggy

the internet we have now is designed for bots, you can thank google and meta and the like

it has accelerated to ludicrous speeds this year if you are paying attention and dead internet theory already had shit pegged as high as in the 60s before the ai boom
