What do we actually need to build? We have plenty of buildings to shelter people, but use them roleplay career professionals. More than enough roads and highways.

Plenty of farmland. Maybe could use some hospitals.

A real need to rebuild post-world wars seems to have become some mind virus we have to constantly crank out mega projects.

Can we get over the ridiculous hallucination we need to “drill baby drill” and grind through all the resources to goto Mars? You and I will be dead before that’s tenable let alone implemented… can we let the future sort itself out a bit?

Why do we still buy into the story of post-war shell shocked paranoids who spent decades huffing leased gas fumes, expropriating the world from everyone else dropping democracy bombs.

Decades of television as a carefully curated propaganda pipeline has messed the last generation up.
