I don't care what kind of fancy mass damper you've got, this just seems like a bad idea. The same building would be safer somewhere else. Why do humans insist of trying to defy nature?
- ravi-delia 4y agoNature would have us dying in childbirth (as babies and mothers), most times we get injured, and in brutal generational raids. Once you agree to birthing forceps and antibiotics we've established the kind of person you are, and move on to negotiating the price.
- toast0 4y agoIt's better to knowingly build next to a major fault line than to build next to a major fault line discovered after you built. There's also the issue that tallest structures really need to be placed in areas of extreme density in order to attract the usage they need to be economically viable. Our ancestors didn't tend to plan cities around suitable geography for buildings these tall, but we'd have trouble convincing people to move to a planned city with better geography.
