/out/ here, almost every super crowded peak in the US east is 1-2 miles and 1800-2500 feet of elevation from the parking lot (and Everest has like 11 ascent attempt days a year, and is an outlier). In the bottom picture that ridge to the right looks fun as fuck to climb and you will be in quiet solitude.

Air travel. The outlawing of all modes of air travel would fix so many problems with the world that a post-plane world would look unrecognisable. No more overseas wars, unless you can keep a constant stream of ships going in and out of the warzone. No more fat tourists wobbling around foreign cities unless they decide to take an arduous journey by land or sea. Reduced global emissions. Death of globalised industries.

Ah, you are assuming there is a problem in the first place. That’s assuming there is a lack of logical consistency which then implies some ideal of logical consistency. If we give the later in order to operate in a causative realm, where do you see logical inconsistency.

Carrots. Everyone ignores them and it's slowly destroying our society.

nothing has any connection to the real world anymore, the food we eat, the words we use, the mountains we climb. Everything is a lie, but that is not the problem, the problem is we dont see it, we dont acknowledge the simulation.

Im struggling to disagree with this

I like this one.

Wouldn't fix anything. Air and sea travel are fundamentally the same, this would only increase the amount of travel and pollution, as your war scenario suggests.
And Floating Boomer Cities.

Sea travel takes far longer, and is thus far more expensive (it costs exponentially more to feed a passenger ship full of people for a week than it does to feed a passenger plane full of people for 24 hours). Plus, what doesn't sound cool about Floating Boomer Cities?

>>14711774
I agree with this

>no you can't just heckin do things that other people also do!!! it ruins the authenticityerino!!

>>14711819
Daymn g! cool down a lil bit Mr.cumskin :D

My humble suggestion is to ban every mode of transportation except horse riding.

>>14712113
But you are ignoring the problem, air travel is just an extension of the same mentality. Or have you not heard of the Titanic?
No one cares about expenses in the modern world, that is the entire point of its economic theories. Sea travel would just have an increase of boat speeds and numbers, which would pollute and cost more.
And apparently you haven't heard of the floating quarantines either. Real cool stuff.

People shouldn't be able to leave a 50 mile radius from where they were born

>>14712191
What you are saying, then, is that banning air travel doesn't go far enough? Interesting, perhaps >>14712190 has the right idea.

>>14711923
>And Floating Boomer Cities
Cruise ships?

this is your brain on a couple of generations of lowest common denominator socialism. all must win prizes

i work on a cruise ship, can confirm this is accurate

Yeah

there is no much more to add, specially off season its a floating geriatric house, and the older and most cruises they have the joyless they become, all they do is complain about minimal details for attention

>>14712308
I mean we have to get rid of more than 7 billion people

>>14712191
people can only get like 2 weeks off work at a time
with air travel, they can spend that 2 weeks anywhere
if they had to drive or take a train to the coast, and then a boat, we wouldn't have these insectoid "travelers" crawling all over every last undisturbed patch of the earth.
just because you CAN get somewhere by boat, doesn't mean that the millions of people traveling in airplanes every day WOULD. they wouldn't, it's not a comparable mode of transportation

Based Bill Tilman knew this in the 1930s
>Is it not time to start a Society for the Suppression and Abolition of Maps and Guide Books, not necessarily confined to the Himalaya? With the accumulation of exact knowledge comes the desire to put it to use, and we shall presently have a Five-Year Plan for the Himalaya and learn that the Sanctuary is one of those eligible sites ‘ripe for development’.

What is objectively wrong about this? Why would it be more "authentic" if it were only one person and was harder to get up

>>14711774
this. we need a train-based ethnostate.

No. WWI gives us a sense of what would, and did, happen to horses in the modern world. They must pull an excessive weight of machines and mobilisation units to the point that they are quickly exhausted. They become expendable. The modern world views all lesser biological units as energy for its machine processes. Man begins to see himself as a forged being, his defenses like the leather hardened by soaking it in the strongest chemicals. That which kills all other animals only emboldens him.
Today horses are mostly show pieces, for exhibitions and low-scale tourism areas. The museums of rural areas. Horse riding and training requires honourable character, the ability to release a wild yet controllable spirit through the instincts of a soft hand. One must sense a connection with the earth, a natural unity which gives peace to both horse and rider. Modern character is a hardened form of domestication, the brutal hand requires both complete submission and an increase of force - steel as the crystallized accumulation of elements which can be bent but not broken. Here the fasces shows its inferiority as a symbol, a herald for all nations that would be defeated.

The modern form of technology is an endless series of ropes and pulleysused to force ships over mountains. Landlocked, the Leviathan is heavier than the Behemoth, and must accumulate vast power to force its movement. Opposing forces and directions rule - the horse is rendered useless once the mountain takes on the characteristics of the sea.

In Anghiari no men died, only horses. This necessitated an increased mobilisation in order to overwhelm the enemy, a monstrous form of war which killed ever more horses until the technical power of men could overcome the armour, the pikes, the muskets. Eventually they were freed, given peace by technological takeover. After the Somme no horses died, only men.

The Manhattan Project began with mercenary maneuvers, impossible defenses which necessitate other means of overwhelming the enemy. The city is the great armoury of man's being, and horses are given stables only to the extent that the earth remains as a lawmaker within its walls.

Transportation can never be legislated, as it is the appearance of movement in any given age. Any attempt to ban the means of movement would result in an immediate declaration of vehicular civil war, similar to the war on sparrows, emus, and insects.

The picture disturbs me because a mountain peak is usually thought of the pinnacle of solitude.
No matter where we go or what we do we can't escape society

>>14711866
There is no superlative problem. Its one of two things a, everything is logical or b, everything is chaos, which in itself is a form of logic as it obeys the law of non-consistancy.

We are speaking in hypotheticals, and you insist on a literal interpretation.
Obviously if ships were the main method of transportation sacrifices would have to be made. The spirit of the age would not end because of a simple change in the appearance of transportation.
A simple solution would be more ports and shipyards. But, again, there's no point in exploring such things in depth because we are only dealing with hypotheticals.

what board is this because this ain't literature
