Caption: Photo collage of a beach in Alexandria, Egypt, showing a progression in 3 images:
- Alexandria “Problem” - empty beach + walking street + 6 lane road with medium traffic + dense mid-rise buildings (likely housing)
- Alexandria “Solution” - empty beach (doesn’t seem to matter) + narrower walkway or sidewalk + 10 lane brand new and empty road + tiny sidewalk + the same buildings
- Alexandria “Results” - crowded beach + crowded beach walkway + traffic jam on the 10 lane road
I like to explain this phenomenon as the free cake effect.
Say you set up a food stand with a sign “free cake”. It doesn’t matter how many cakes you baked, people will keep showing up until all the cake is gone.
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people who are
still alive
Well, we do what we must because we can
