We have arrived at the end point of philosophy and it is beautiful.

It's really not how most academic philosophers expresss themselves. The guy is just making a series of very vague analogies and metaphorical statements that seem mostly arbitrary and meaningless. It reads like a frantic attempt to come up with something interesting and surprising, which is exactly what his role as someone who depends on the media finding him interesting demands

Calling a car a "uterus on wheels" and that it drives forward "competitive feelings" are actually legit criticisms of car/modernized culture, in the sense that a car lets people travel but a place of safety where they are never fully immersed or living in the moment of their new destination.

However, the bit about expelling a "turd" by speeding past slower drivers is just dumb.

This makes perfect sense in the US. Being immersed in American cities populated by Americans is highly undesirable. Best just to drive on through isolating yourself from the disposable culture and people that surround you.

I've heard this said from other sources. In don't know when this interview was from or when he first expressed this idea, so I cannot say if it is a novel expression, but I can say that I've read what is essentially this idea in other places, so it isn't an insight exclusive to him.
When I first read it, it was better expressed because it wasn't tarnished by psychoanalytical language.

Yeah, his idea isn't bad it's just unoriginal and articulated in a moronic manner. He's essentially going on about the depersonalization of traffic as well as fairly common example in phenomenology of what's sort of a computational efficiency mechanism. It also implies some sort of notion of extended self, but instead of elaborating to provide any meaningful perspective, or really an argument, he simply demonstrates his ability to frivolously affix other thinkers' metaphors onto other thinkers' ideas under the guise of synthesis. This sort of quibbling completely undermines the point of philosophy. It is exactly the kind of tripe which takes us to a point where everything means nothing, following the beat of "everything is a construct".

I'm a philosophy noob, are you saying the guy in the OP is being serious? It reads like something I'd pull out my ass in order to farm (you)s

Crash was kinda hot, not gonna lie.

this, philosophy has turned into a self masturbatory pseud cesspit
