so you want to move large amounts of people and cargo around? it will be most efficient to build one large specialized engine that pulls a bunch of cheap, modular passenger and cargo compartments in a long line
no they definitely all have to have their own engine very well, i suppose that increases the modularity. we can have vehicles that carry 50 to 100 people, perhaps, and... no, we're talking like 5 people, at most, and they have to be very friendly with each other ugh, fine, so we physically attach them to each other and... no no no! they can't be physically attached! coordinate a virtual tether over wifi by having them drive really close to one another? finally! a technological solution to this problem!Feel like
makes more sense. Sheldon was canonically a train nerd and refused to drive himself.Also Sheldon was shunned in his rural texas hometown because the one time he took an objective look at trying to solve political problems he almost immediatly arrived at communism.
Haven't even watched the show but I feel fairly confident this would be his favorite website.

well i'm going more for silicon valley tech grifter nerd than mckinsey neolib bureaucrat
maybe
?
The power of our emoji game on this site never fails to impress me. Did not expect to be reading the dialectic of lib Sheldon and robo Lenin but what better parties to have the debate
Trains are simply an example of Mustelization, a similar phenomena to Carcinization where life-forms convergently evolve weasel-like traits, instead of evolving crab-like traits.
the long, flexible 'body' and short 'legs' are peak Weasel, way more than Crab. Perhaps trains are a combination of the best features of both, the spinal flexibility and body length from Weasels and multi-legged stability and armored exoskeleton from Crabs.
