When men are the default human experience... (Not for the faint of 🀍.)

I had heard for quite some time now that cars were always done with a male crash test dummy as a default. I had heard that a woman crash test dummy had been created. However, it's not legally required that you use it. And realistically, that dummy is just a smaller male version of the larger one for a man. So it doesn't really give accurate data

Hey, as soon as you said it. As soon as you said it, they were. They were tested with real blood in the year 2023. I just screamed, what? In my garage? I don't even have to listen to the rest of the swell. That is the craziest thing that I have ever heard in my life. Men didn't test. We didn't test things with that and with real blood until last year. Oh, I can't wait to see where this is

That was my reaction. I heard about it first on social media, and I was like, this isn't true. I'm just like, what? Just, wow

I was talking the other day with a buddy of mine when we were discussing both film and we were discussing both technology and just the numerous avenues of entertainment and just existence overall, like marketing, industry, whatever it may be, the absence of having platforms like Charlie Rose and 60 minutes being something that is actually watched by a lot of viewers and not just a certain demographic is needed more than ever because these things are super serious and because now we have a culture of podcasts and we have a culture of video content that is so ala carte

And so when I listen to that, then I'm like, okay, well, then perhaps we could incentivize the powers that be by using capitalism and say, hey, gather this data so that you can increase the tax income and the GDP and make yourselves happier while also benefiting a portion of the population. And so then I'm thinking, well, is it possible to do that kind of thing in other areas? And perhaps, but I don't know enough about it
