A very cogent discussion. I have been waiting for someone to piss me off, and they have not so far. Pictures of futuristic cities are hopium (unless they are ruins) with green vines growing on them.
Eighteen minutes in Roxanne Meadows mentions George Mobus and systems theory. She questions the Earth's ability to provide endless abundance for all. She says it was possible, but because of bad decision is may not be anymore.
Not your Daddy's Utopia . I ignored Jacque Fresco's Venus Project as a fantasy divorced from reality. It that was true it no longer is. Likely never was, but future hopium tech has not been my thing. Maybe it was bad marketing. The core values seem correct.
The people at the Moneyless Society also have their shit together.
RE and I had Dinner with George Mobus the last time RE came down to Seattle.
