  • I understand all the concerns about losing jobs and being left behind, but that’s also what happened when the loom was invented. An entire profession gone. Looms were destroyed in protests, people died over embracing the new machine and the inventors of every new version had their lifes threatened. But imagine if we we’re still hand weaving all our clothes today? Yeah maybe they would be more durable than what we have today, but you wouldn’t have many clothes, and there would be a large portion of the population just weaving fabrics.

    Same thing happened when threshing machines were invented, steam pumps, cranes, the printing press. History repeats itself where jobs will be lost to new innovation but look at what new jobs and careers these inventions sparked.

    Its hard to see it now, but automation is a good thing. It will drive new technology where we will once again find new jobs and careers.

    Believe me, as someone still getting into my career which is being threatened by AI, I’m certain there will still be work that isn’t just manual labor.





  • I can chime in and say the cardo spirit is great, I’ve used mine on two helmets which I have some tips for. When you use the sticky base, assume you’re never getting it off, cause I couldn’t haha. The helmet clip although seems flimsy at first holds up really well too, but it’s difficult to install.

    You may have noticed already that putting on your helmet already folds your ears pretty bad. The extra speaker width makes it 2x worse and a lot harder to unfold your ear. I recommend a ski mask always.

    Lastly these systems work well with ear protection, or at least cardo does, but as you could imagine the speakers are almost screaming at you at full blast. Although it sounds like a moderate volume to you, when you walk around it’s blasting music and sounds to everyone else. I remember accidentally forgetting this and taking my helmet off walking into a petrol station with hearing protection still in, I only found out when I pulled one ear out to talk to the attendant when I was already in line for a minute, felt like a total douche haha

    Overall though, the spirit is great, music is great, calls are great, speakers are great, battery, volume, durability, water resistance, all great.
