I hate how bright car headlights are now

It’s like an arms race to see who can blind each other more 

I’ll rant more later about how dumb it was to ban incandescent bulbs and embrace LEDs — I suspect many health issues are exacerbated by poor light diets

Brighter=Safer right? 

Just like Bigger=Safer

Nice little micromoloch. Not quite a moloch trap; a moloch snag? Moloch snafu?

Is it even moloch?

Feels like the God of unnecessary efficiency (reductionism?)

The cost of white LEDs is not worth the energy savings

I don’t think the drivers are choosing it. The car manufacturers keep doing it (not sure why)

If drivers are doing it out of self interest (bright headlights keep me safe) to the detriment of the collective (I can’t see for all the fucking LED headlights) it’s moloch.
