As seen online:
“We want to believe that we ourselves are not the problem, that there aren’t too many cars on the road. We want to believe that we are masters of this universe, unconstrained by physics. We want to believe that progress—in all its forms—is born from audacity alone and does not also require collective action, patience, and occasional sacrifice. We want to believe that big things can be easy instead of hard and that belief itself can make them so.”
