Pedestrian visitors in Grand Central Station is a little bit of a miracle. Hundreds of individuals, all strolling rapidly, in virtually non-Euclidian chaos, headed towards totally different trains. And nobody collides.
We see the identical factor at a extra harmful clip when a 4 lane freeway merges. The vehicles are only a few toes aside (or maybe a number of inches) driving a mile a minute (sooner than a cheetah) and but, collisions are uncommon.
If one particular person, only one, operating late for a practice and carrying a scorching pizza, begins shouting and operating by way of the practice terminal, the gang will half and he’s more likely to make it to the opposite aspect.
It would even work if two totally different individuals do it.
It doesn’t scale.
What we’ve discovered from 1000’s of years of apply is that the one option to keep away from collisions is to seek out the arrogance and empathy to yield… the shortest option to get to the place we’re going entails cooperation and the resiliency that comes with empathy and consciousness. Once we alternate applicable spacing and yield after we can, connections happen and we are able to movement ahead.
Egocentric brutality would possibly work within the quick run, but it surely at all times breaks.
