Being able to quit doesn’t mean you’re not addicted. Addiction has a list of defined symptoms in the DSM.

I don’t know where they got that number from. It’s depending on a multitude of factors like, type of supernova and orientation of the supernova (like if we’re in line for a gamma ray burst)

*edit

For anyone interested in this topic I suggest Phil Plait’s book in the subject

My volvo has no requirement to look at the road and I can let go of the wheel just as long as I can in my Tesla.

My Volvo is better than my Model Y in every way except range. And it’s cheaper because of the tax credit.

Radar can absolutely detect stationary objects. Your vehicle moving at 50 mph means a stationary object is moving at 50 mph relative to your radar.

Crypto is international. Courts are terrible with that scenario.

Pretty hard for US courts to make a random person across the globe give up their wallets.

Also, banks can be court ordered to hold funds. Crypto doesn’t have that.

Instant verified electronic money transmission is difficult. There are not many options here. MC, Visa, PayPal, Crypto… gift cards?

I would say it’s a numbers game. Islamic extremism has way more members.

Checks are slow and can be faked or scammed.

Sending cash also wouldn’t work.

MasterCard and Visa had a strong monopoly on instant transactions at a distance. They fought PayPal quite a bit in the beginning as it encroached on their monopoly.

Thankfully crypto has solved this monopoly

I see someone already put a link up, but extremism is extremism and the Christian extremism in the U.S. parallels Islamic extremism quite a bit. Including openly murdering those you disagree with.

Google results have fallen dramatically in terms of quality. I’d switch from current Google to Google circa 2018

Tesla has its own fair share of problems. Including major recalls.

Even the non-recall stuff, Tesla has Major issues.
