Nice write up! I showed this to info graphic to my wife who is partially woke and she had no problems with it. I couldn’t formulate my issue with it other than I thought it was offensive. You articulated it well ie objective reasoning isn’t a white virtue, it’s a human one. Keep up the writing and posting (looked you up after your comments about the DNC to RNC fake switch on McWhorters substack).

The American Dream is a neurotic delusion that the dumb White people are supposed to believe in. The Laws of Physics do not care about any culture, anyone, anything.

At the White fraternity I joined I found it amusing to look out of the 2nd floor stairwell window watching 4 White boys washing 4 cars Every Saturday morning. I thought it ironic that young men at an Engineering school would worship automobiles. I was cynical enough to accept planned obsolescence long before the STEM acronym became popular. Hand washing under engineered junk made no sense.

When can we force economists to report the annual depreciation of automobiles of cars since Sputnik. I watched Jay Leno in one of his Garage shows running a Merlin engine from WWII talking about how we have better lubricants today than back then. We have better electronic ignition control, but what else?

Planned Obsolescence is just a high technology form of slavery in my opinion. Never owned a new car or been to an auto show in 40+ years.
