Not being pedantic but that’s a Yamaha Vino. The cable is attached to a lock on the disc brake. They’re old and fairly cheap compared to an EV scooter so definitely not a yuppie household. Also it must be a low crime area if that’s the only lock on the bike.
Let this be a reminder. What is being called science, inappropriately, is not competent at establishing proper settings of the human moral compass.
I have been subject to the most extensive, most thorough, most complete, most dogmatic teachings of a man who wrote a very, very long time ago, Thomas Aquinas and I have lived now into my ninth decade in this bag of bones equally steeped in the most detailed, thorough, authoritative, serious and difficult theoretical physical and biological and psychological and sociological sciences. None of it has made me a better, or a worse man. And I cannot and will not have any truck with Thomism. It is a mind-game played in the long past as part of the transition from superstition and magic and is well past its use-by date.
I function believing, hoping and loving while staring at tomorrow utterly ignorant about it. I function as a spiritual being within a reality which is like a two-sided coin, in a created reality which is only very partially perceptible and spinning all the time presenting the material and spiritual aspect of reality necessarily blurred.
Thomas was told by the angel in the form of a little girl that his striving was as vain as the task it was modelling, taking a little water from the sea and pouring it into a hole in the sand with the intent of putting the whole sea in the hole. He got it. He willed his writings to be destroyed.
