What a world. Capitalism "externalizes" costs to the point where the costs are "externalized" into our own bodies.

LLM makers makers do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.

Okay so I don’t think this is true - historically speaking, mass violence consistently comes from an attempted rejection (rather than a *lack*) of empathetic impulses, which exist whether we want them to or not, and desire to distance oneself from an externalized target.
A U.S. Army psychologist Gustave M. Gilbert interviewed Nazi war criminals on trial at Nuremberg and famously wrote in his 1950 book, "Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy."
It was the *lack* of empathy that made the Holocaust possible.

I still want an EV. But we only drive about 5000 miles per year. Pennsylvania has imposed a "road user charge" of $250/year on EV owners, which would be nearly twice what I pay in gas taxes now. And without the externalized costs of pollution.
Make it make sense. Why do we subsidize fossil so much?

The problem, as we know, is the ambient hate of women, which is internalized by women and externalized by men and women.

Malnutrition is worse in capitalist countries than socialist ones. Western capitalist countries externalized their famines to their colonies.

Forcing the internalization of externalized costs is Woke 2.
We should just directly tax the weight of a vehicle, especially in cities.
There is no fucking reason for everybody, their two daughters and their dog to each own an F150.
We should levy the cost of road maintenance and traffic calming and pedestrian nation upon those who make it all so difficult.

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

Transit agencies have cost efficiency problems for sure but the biggest reason driving looks cheap in comparison is that all the costs have been externalized or socialized.
- insurance costs for worst drivers socialized onto everyone, then underinsured driver costs externalized onto crash victims

Right the worst drivers would simply be uninsurable regardless of income.
