The Wrong Side of my Car
The blog that wants to go obsolete
Car brain
Have you ever heard anyone use the term Car Brain?
Maybe someone is pointing out that you obviously can’t get groceries without a car *1. Or, yeah public transport is all good if you just want to go straight home from work but this will obviously never work if you have to go to other places underway. These assertions often attract scorn, and ‘car brain’ is a term to imply that people saying these things are kind of stupid. It is perhaps a bit of a Liberal thing, and liberals aren’t exactly known to be good at making friends.
In basic terms, it refers to people who no longer know how to survive without driving a car. Or even, whether or not this is possible at all. But can you really blame them? Look around in your city. How do the streets work? Where is everything?
