A2Bism

  • Chapter
Copenhagenize

Abstract

I know exactly what you want. It’s the same thing that I want. Indeed, it’s what every homo sapien who has ever lived wants: a direct line from A to B when we’re transporting ourselves. Humans are like rivers carving through a landscape—we will always find the easiest route. This is the most basic principle in transport planning. I call it A2Bism.

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
