Every generation has their utopians, from the Pythagorean's vegan communes, to the US hippies in the 1970's. The only time massive change has happened relatively overnight has been revolution with enormous, unified support of an impoverished population, see: France.
This is the latest incarnation of the the 1970's SF hippy commune ideology. In that it makes broad sweeping claims without many citations or substance beyond oversimplified truisms. I expect to see "BioSphereX-Now with more crypto!" any day now, except without Steve Bannon (yes, he was actually involved in BioSphere 2 in the 80's).
- oh_sigh 5y agoI looked up the Bannon connection you mentioned, and ran across another fun Bannon fact: He gets paid every time Seinfeld airs. His investment firm helped sell Castle Rock Entertainment to TBS back in the 90s, and as part of that deal he waived part of his advisory fees in lieu of partial royalties to some current TV shows, one of which was Seinfeld.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoWow. I mean, I have plenty of words for that man, most are awful, but unfortunately, "savvy" has to be one of them. Can't underestimate that guy's giant brain even if he does want to destroy the planet.
