Oh how true this is! My town, city, and state are not destined for walking but oh how I would love to take off walking or even bicycling everywhere I want or need to go. There isn't really anything stopping me beside the requirement of a bicycle in that case but it's just not ingrained, habit, or something I really even think of doing. Everything where I live is 1/4 mile apart +/-, but could technically be walked but would take more time and effort.
I should also say that I had no idea what Aeon Magazine was and it's pretty cool. I find this article about Aeon Magazine quite interesting.. https://www.jboy.space/log/ssrc-digital-media-reflection.html The CEO of Aeon Magazines father is one of the richest people in Australia being a head of a hedge fund..
I don't follow a lot of domains on Hubski but aeon is one of the ones I follow.
