I see the normies on reddit all the time saying how retarded people must be for not wanting 15 minute citys.

Sure, it sounds nice, just like the north american free trade union, or the no child left behind act. Give it a nice name and people wont give a shit lmao.

But it basically tells me, as a person who reads alot, that the article,

"Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better"

, is not just a whimsical notion and conspiracy theory, but the fucking plan.

Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city." I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.

First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams, not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking?

Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends. I enjoy the exercise and the ride. It kind of gets the soul to come along on the journey. Funny how some things seem never seem to lose their excitement: walking, biking, cooking, drawing and growing plants. It makes perfect sense and reminds us of how our culture emerged out of a close relationship with nature.

In our city we don't pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.

Is this not describing what a "15 minute" city is. It's funny, most people are dumb enough to think they are going to get the flying drones to transport them around.

Sure, if your a rich person by blood, or a doctor, or a quantum physicist. Youll get everything you want. Everyone else is cogs to be used and tossed away at will. All towards the goal of making sure our leaders can live forever like the gods that created us.

Holy fuck what a terrible outlook. I just try to enjoy my life, hard to do when I'm deprived of the things I need to be happy and productive, like proper medical care. But what can any of us do?

I say a prayer every night that this interglacial will wipe these mad lads out before that happens, because I would rather our species go extinct, then continue to let these idiots speak for our planet and use their technology to live forever.

My main worry is at that point, what the fuck could you do that gives you pleasure?

Other than torture the fuck out of any living thing that whimsicals your fancy.
