Total bike and trailer builder and believer of yore here.
One can fail to appreciate the additional breaking forces
and shifts in balance a loaded trailer introduces to the bicycle.
Where the trailer attaches should be as close to the center of gravity of the bike & rider as possible so the trailer's resultant forces have the least leverage.
The trailer hitch should be rotationaly neutral which is a gentler way of saying
if the trailer flips over it should not take the bike down with it.
If the trailer has its own breaks they should slightly and lightly lead the bikes rear break.
Being careful helps, I never wrecked, but do see how the addition of electrical assist does up the concern as it could result in more mass moving fast.
I've been rear-ended by other drivers a couple of times, once in the centre of town. If a child in a trailer been between the two vehicles they would have been killed. The reason for one of the rear-endings was that the brake rubber came of the pedal. I don't trust other drivers to not be on their phone or to properly maintain attention at all times. The OP also said that he did this in winter time. Here in the UK there can be black ice on the road at that time of the year.
There's a more fundamental issue at play here than AI replacing human skills and craft and the consequent aimlessness it can invoke.
When we build software, we have a number of diverse experiences. We get 'into the zone', our daily worries fade away and we fall into a sweet mental harmony. We feel the joy of architecting and building castles in the sky, we bask in the carefully honed simplicity and balance of the system we have created. This all takes place within ourselves and needs no observer. But there is another force at play, we look forward to the admiration of other people's gazes on our work. This admiration is rooted in their recognition of our special skills that few can demonstrate. Now though, the AI has diminished the uniqueness of that ability. The product of our work is no longer an admirable thing in the eyes of our imagined audience. If this was your main goal, then motivation drains away.
I see what you're saying and to me seems the most relevant aspect of the transition. This has happened before, vehicles go faster than people or horses and machines play chess better than any human, but we still have foot-races and chess is as popular as ever. People will always do things and compete and play, it will just not be for work and to pay for things we need. The road there may be very bumpy, but once there we will have a new currency for recognition and appreciation.
When it comes to art, machines won't replace humans because communicating the human condition is at the core of art. Some things categorized as art e.g. blockbuster movies may entirely be machine made and enjoyed for its novelty and spectacle and that's fine too.
I don't agree, I think if you understand science in general then you realize at an early age e.g. 20 that social/behavioral science is at best a pseudoscience
I'm in a similar situation so it's funny to see someone else here with the same. I had my transplant in 1988. There's also Steve Rasmussen (you can google him) who AFAIK also does not take Trikafta.
