Each time I scroll and cast on Farcaster, I pause for a moment to recognize that, currently, Farcaster is largely an echo chamber. A biased social network with a heavy influence from millennial males raised in western school systems, wealth and cultures where propaganda like the Fukuyama “The End of History” or that all collectivism is bad has heen widely spread to modelate a type of citizen that lacks a lot of knowledge on social arrangements diversity (just see how people is starting to be aware that the way they built cities in US could not be the best for many reasons) I try to remember, also, that there’s a vast world beyond Farcaster’s confines, and our ideas aren’t flawless. We don’t have all the insights to see every problem from a global perspective. I feel frustrated whenever I read oversimplified posts claiming we should put everything onchain, that incentives can solve every social problem, or that poor countries are only poor because of their bad leadership.

The dawn of everything ;)) Cities in the US not just suck, destroyed the societal structure. All driven by full fledged consumption capitalism. We need the next type of capitalism to develop.

It's incredible how urban planning can shape entire societies. It's also interesting how countries like the Netherlands demonstrate that rapid transformations are possible. https://www.distilled.earth/p/how-the-netherlands-built-a-biking

btw: Even more hardcore level of urban planning fueled by other capital structures. 🤷♂️ All the way around in the area https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Line,_Saudi_Arabia

Amazing! Thanks for the book recommendation! Do you know what is the status of The Line? I remember seeing that they started digging works

I heard expectation vs reality kicked in hard (long time ago) lowering down the project to 1/100 of the proposed. Oil money can pay for much, but is not that nonsense.
