The cognitive dissonance in their descriptions of how things will work and how things will be is amazing. Everything is “inclusive” and “equitisim” and the community has a direct voice in every decision (that will scale to 5 million people!). But yet all this is being dictated by what I assume is the authority over everything in this make-believe place. Everything on their website states as a matter of fact how “things will be”. This isn’t how things work and it’s written like it was created from the most upvoted posts on Reddit. Teachers will “be paid well” - what does that mean? Who decides what “paid well” means? What if they unionize, for example?
What if the people that move there decide they don’t want any of these things? What if the first settlers decide to vote for individual property ownership?
This place sounds more like a utopian commune than a realistic place.
