Calling ones discipline "sociocyberneering" is a bit much. I also find it interesting how much of Fresco's designs is designed inside an suburban context.
Interestingly also hyperloop like concepts: https://youtu.be/I1IXWnS6vwk?t=2376 https://youtu.be/I1IXWnS6vwk?t=2376 And so much individual transport
I find it interesting that in this youtube video only old people are interested in the future he proposes.
- kragen 5y agoRemember Fresco grew up in a time when socially accepted people invented words like "cybernetics", "Dymaxion", "omnitriangulated", "magnetron", "transistor", "Comintern", and "sociobiology". Today it's socially acceptable to go around inventing acronyms, but probably in 80 years people will sneer at anyone who insists on naming their inventions things like "UAVs" and "SHORAD". This may have something to do with why mostly only old people were interested: people are mostly guided by what is fashionable, so when someone is working on an angle that was fashionable forty years earlier, mostly only people who grew up when it was fashionable will pay attention.
