I hate driving ...

In the last 3 months, I have been commuting 40 minutes for work after living 5 minutes from my job for nearly 3 years.

I was ok with driving distances before starting this series of commutes. What I hate most is the waste of money spent on gas.

Experience driving: 22 years

I am driving from 3 months and I also hate driving. But, acceleration and high speed is fun

Driving is dangerous, I drive for 1.5 years, when it is necessary and I see so many accidents. Any situation where this many elements doesn't depend on me is dangerous.

They all depend on you, fool

Have you not heard of quantum entanglement?
Dumb

Also, entanglement is limited to certain groups.

Also, it takes time for influence to spread.

Also, positive influence in that way cannot be conscious, it is pointless to bring that up.

Every agent can do that, I am in the sea of agents I don't directly control.

maybe... you don't know what control is
Now, that's interesting.

Control is when I decide to do something and that particular thing is done on my terms.

In simpler terms, I push the button for the red light and the red light glows.

Would you care to re-define what the control is to me?

As a member of the traffic system, every move you make has an impact on the entropy, or the passage of time in the system. Incidentally, the traffic system is a component in a larger system.

Really, what I intend to say, is that you are entangled in the system at a quantum level and all potential outcomes of your behavior coexist simultaneously until the moment you act, so in one sense, you have full control.

Alternatively you might interpret this as a situation where you have zero control, which would then be a concession that you have zero control in every situation so driving is not necessarily any riskier on that axis.

Also, it takes time for influence to spread.

This is contradictory to the nature of quantum entanglement, which implies that information can be exchanged on a quantum level at the same moment in time.

So, I could park my car to survive when someone else creates an accident? That's obvious.

What I meant was that there are actions and outcomes that are not under my control, that are quite statistically likely to cause my death.

The only control I have over it is whether I decide to go into that system, or I stay home/go by train, etc.

Alternatively you might interpret this as a situation where you have zero control, which would then be a concession that you have zero control in every situation so driving is not necessarily any riskier on that axis.
I have a degree of control, great control over my action and very limited and sometimes no control over actions of others, which I consider nonexistent.

This is contradictory to the nature of quantum entanglement, which implies that information can be exchanged on a quantum level at the same moment in time.
I didn't connect this with your unrelated entanglement (unrelated because it is beyond control). I connected it with the butterfly effect, but you didn't realise that.

Conscious control does not equal influence.

I do find myself driving faster each week.

I had to turn it into an experiment. How many cars can I pass today? Did anyone I previously pass at some point pass me? What are the areas where I would put a speed trap? How many cop cars did I pass? Can I be at the same spot on the highway with the same song playing on the radio everyday for a week?

A few years back I drove 40 minutes to work. That job consisted of driving around all day. Delivering mail far out on the country side has a comfortable drive to delivering ratio.

I eventually found myself keeping count how many cars I passed on my way to work. Or how many I could overtake in one go. Finding an average.

I guess one of the less responsible things I did back then was trying to see how fast I could go with the company car on a stretch that was far from the main road without houses directly next to it. I could only get it to 110km/h, though. That was a bit disappoint.

Well, one thing liked about a long drive to work was the listening to music and getting ready to work in contrast to getting up and directly to work.

But yeah, it gets boring after a while.
