That's not entirely true. The US dollar is backed up by it being mandated as (I believe the only) acceptable payment for US taxes. So long as the US government exists, US currency will have value to anyone who has to pay those taxes.

Along with the suggestions to check for neurospiciness; general balance work and things like ballroom dance, yoga, and martial arts are really helpful to increase proprioception and generally get you feeling more "in" and "connected" to your body.

EDIT: punctuation for better clarity

@clueless_stoner [American perspective]
This country has been built around cars for at least the past 70 years. All of our infrastructure is optimized towards cars. Public transit has been (some would say intentionally) held back to further encourage people to invest in cars and perpetuate the cycle.

I'm a driving enthusiast, but there's so much driving that could be rendered unnecessary with just an iota of added bike infrastructure.

Also, busses suck. Light rail is the way to go.
