'I have never understood avarice in old men. What could be more absurd than wanting to add more and more baggage to your journey as you draw nearer to its end?' - Cicero (On Old Age, 18.66)

Superhero fiction is morally bad. It establishes a belief that a special person can quickly deliver long lasting improvements. This great man of history allegory never works in reality. Real improvement comes from teamwork. Films should focus on ensembles in it for the long haul.

When cities evaluate bike-sharing purely as a revenue-generating service, they miss the bigger picture. Systems like Villo! succeed because they’re treated as public infrastructure; just like roads, public transport, or utilities.

Be great to have a joyful programme in mould of Tomorrow's World, but called Today's World, in which we are told of all the great advances and improvements on our daily lives, so that boomers like me won't keep droning on about how much better things were before enshittification.
