It’s pretty interesting to think about how our embodied experience changes inside a vehicle. We move faster but are more limited in other ways. All of language is traded for a horn — no more complex grammar and vocabulary, just “beep beep.”
It would be interesting to see brain studies and brain scans that show whether our brain is in fact working in a more primitive level when inside a vehicle, reflected by the restricted use of language.
On the other hand, I wonder how brain activity would look for a pilot navigating an extremely complex vehicle using a complex dashboard.
what I wouldn't give for a second horn that played 'la cucaracha'
Would you give a few hundred dollars and couple dozen hours of learning? Because this is a very achievable goal
