Twin study suggests rationality and intelligence share the same genetic roots - the study suggests that being irrational, or making illogical choices, might simply be another way of measuring lower intelligence.

That's a pretty neat idea. I've long had the idea for a fleet of professional drivers bc everyone seems to do it so badly...

Unfortunately, a lot of professional drivers are also not very good....

Maybe we should make a modern version of street cars. Use an AI and a few people to coordinate stops and pickups. If no one drives crashes are unlikely. Optimize traffic patterns for different shifts and school times. Probably stagger when people start and get off work to minimize rush hour congestion. Possibly stagger days off too. Work two days, a day off, work two days, two days off. That way necessary businesses aren’t closed when people have time off. Parents could choose the best school schedule for their children that allows them solid time with them. More employment opportunities, better life work balance.

I always thought there should be high quality cafeteria style meals offered in several places in town (based on size of population). Some people are really good at and enjoy cooking large meals, If communities ate together regularly loneliness would be far less of an issue. I honestly think if people spent more time around those who were different there’d be less racism and bigotry - it’s hard to other people you see regularly.

I can imagine a dozen ways to improve life.
