@jordanbpeterson People do dumb things all the time, even (especially) academia. You don't have to join the culture war on Twitter to make the world a better place.
@jordanbpeterson Dr. Peterson, I loved your books and they have helped define how I choose to live my life and see people and the world. However, your recent content (like this) uses absolutist and uneducated language that I feel contradicts the message of your books.
@TaylorWAnderson@MrPecners Would also like to point out that traffic in that neighborhood is much better than most of Utah county, since most people mostly walk/bike.
@moveutah Thank you for your humility! We love being able to get to work/school/family even in the winter! Let's make sure those bike lines get plowed as soon as possible after a storm.
@LoganTMillsap@RideUTA Done! I think that people generally have a lower opinion of buses because of the ugly advertising on the outside - if we switched it to something beautiful and supportive of the bus system, we might get more ridership
The USA spends $3 trillion per year on cars.
If we spent 20% of that on trains, buses, bike lanes, and walkable neighborhoods, we'd have nationwide, ubiquitous high speed rail, transit, and safe streets in 10 years.
And save *$ trillions* every year after that, forever.
@Txtofmormonism The saddest part about this is that most BYU students are probably in the most walkable, transit-rich phase of their lives.
Every BYU students has a free UTA pass and there's a rapid transit bus that runs along 3 sides of campus. There should be far fewer students with cars.
