One of the worst things about being stuck living in CURRENT YEAR is that so many of the things that could be done to almost objectively improve society are so simple and straightforward that it's agonizingly embarrassing that not a single limp dick politician or chickenshit bureaucrat has the balls to lift a finger to even get started on it.
Technology has rocketed past our wildest dreams from even 30 years ago, but our cultures and economies have gotten worse, and our physical surroundings remain mostly the same boring 20th-century shit, even worse in some cases, no cool architecture or fashion or cyber-tech or anything that we thought would manifest in the far future of the year 2000.
I'm not talking about any culture war bullshit here, not advocating for any kind of extremism, just talking about almost apolitical building projects, zoning law reform, minor economic policy changes, that sort of thing. In fact, part of the problem is that everyone is so laser-focused on shilling their extreme ideology that will replace the reigning system and getting distracted by retarded culture war shit that they pay absolutely no attention to obvious solutions that almost nobody would have any reasonable problem with. But really, this video explains the whole situation better than I could:
This one too:
NGL, this guy is obviously a bit of a lefty, but hes not an intolerable wokeist/tankie/breadtuber, and he makes some decent points that I think most sane people can agree with.
What are your ideas for policy changes/public works projects that would easily improve society in whatever country you live in?
What are the damp towels in your country's government procrastinating on?
What kinda cool futuristic shit would you want to see in the next 50-100 years?
In case I need to say it, try and avoid extremely ideological or culture war-focused shit, but if what you talk about would benefit your side of the culture war, then feel free to explain how.
Honestly, I think its a little unfortunate that we worry so much about the "live in a pod and eat the bugs" future, but nobody is trying to combat that by providing a more optimistic vision of the future, we're all too concerned with trying to conserve a dull present or "go back to the way things were".
Well, hate to break it to ya buddy, but we will never be able to go back to the way things were.
Like it or not, we'll all end up living in the future anyway, so why not dream of a better one?
