Seeing a lot of comments about human lifespan, projects shouldn't take more than 5 years etc The Florence Cathedral took over 140 years to build. There is clear precedent that humans can design, plan and then execute a project that spans multiple lifetimes. Even better, they didn't have a final design when they started: > While the main structure of the nave was completed by 1380, a solution to constructing a dome to top it was not determined until 1418. [0] This also reminds me of a personal story when visiting Florence: Florentine Tour Guide: "It took 140 years to build the Cathedral. How do you think they were able to do this given that it took so long?" Me: "I would think they needed a committee since that can last longer than a lifetime if the current members add in new people as the old members die" Tour Guide: "Yes! Exactly! So few people realize that is what happened." 0 - https://editions.covecollective.org/chronologies/construction-florence-cathedral https://editions.covecollective.org/chronologies/constructio...
