  • I’m convinced that something unique about being enclosed in a car makes it worse. The depersonalization of interacting with other objects instead of other people since you can’t really see the drivers inside all that well. The defensiveness that comes with the fact that a car is not only one of the most expensive things but also that the interior feels like an extension of your private space even though you’re in public. The feeling of power that comes from operating dangerous heavy machinery, and worry that others are doing so too but getting it wrong and endangering you, etc.

    Nah, phylogenetically speaking, all descendants of fish must also be fish, by definition. Therefore, “being cold blooded” cannot also be a criterion (not that it would work anyway since tuna are warm blooded, BTW, and nobody would argue tuna aren’t fish).

    The “living wholly in water” criterion actually works, though: land-fish (e.g. humans) live inside a bag of water that we carry with us.
