sounds great, but also too good to be true, that would take a whole mindset we are lacking, plus I'm not sure it's the right one, imagine having 100 billion people on the face of the earth, we can't deal with 0 billion right now, if we upscale and actually have 0 waste(which is pretty natural in the biosphere) then what, plus what about the wildlife... or are we gonna build around the forests ... I think it's still going to be disruptive to species, well far less than what is currently the norm, I used to be a fan of the Venus project, but with the latest movie and my change of heart(so to say) I can't really imagine it working any time soon, currently even setting up a experiment is gonna cost millions, imagine just connecting two towns by all of that and making all the necessary equipment for the facilitation of what you described above, I can tell you for a fact, you need at least 50k people and a few millions... I don't have any time or millions to spare at the moment :)

I can tell you even with the current world we can do 99% better, it's possible, will be very hard since we are lazy and stupid for some reason... and we are growing even lazier and stupider with all the technology taking the "smart" out of us, but that's just my opinion, based on my experience and a few decades of trying to work out my flaws and improve :)

good luck with the project I'm glad to see you again, I checked on you a few months ago and saw you weren't posting since the few intro posts :) ok I take that back I have enough to watch through, thank you for the uploads :)

I do not agree to that start, but yeah, great mind :)

their viewpoint is constricted to this time, therefore if you go to a congressman or a politician you will get a lot of hot air, because there isn't any information in their language

technically I do agree that sports and most of religion, but I will quote the comment from @whack.science

BUT, as I believe some sports are made to control you, it is also an aspect of life that I suggest everyone must try! Especially, team sports!
..
What I want to say is Anything can control you if you don't have a good tutor as a kid, and as an adult, if you neglect the process of thinking.

ok thanks for the post and the lots of other posts, I would love to cover this feed :) sorry if I'm going off on tangents :) I do agree our current economy is crazy, insane, has nothing economic in it, not to mention it's detrimental to us and everything around, so everything... it comes from our collective stupidity and lack of trust and communication, I don't think technology alone can solve the mess we've made for ourselves :) that's just me again... sorry if I'm too salty :D
