I get claustrophobic just thinking about living in this space. Even though it is going to be a huge structure, completely wide, probably not much different than living in a city and tracing your route around the city, it probably wouldn't be all that much different. But still, it just feels unnatural. It just feels like I would be enclosed too much. And I would love to visit this

It's horrible also to think that we need to do this in that space, in that setting. People are not going to be human beings. They're going to be like little plastic people. Yuck. Gross. Thank you for sharing, though. Wow. Really? Yeah
I was really trying to get the imagery in my head what you were speaking of, you know, and it it gives the feel, the aesthetics of a, you know, a big mall. I'm an outdoors person, so if I can't just step out my door and feel the grass beneath my feet, if I can't just feel the sunshine, it's not for me. I would think that these people living in that dwelling, I think depression would be on the rise

And to me the most fascinating part of it is not the line itself. And as a very dystopian kind of megastructure, most of the arguments I heard other people in this replies in this one is more about, hey, that feels very cramped and claustrophobic and I want my wide open spaces and that's fair. But you could give the same arguments for living in a small, tiny apartment in Manhattan, right?

I think like you I world like to visit it. I think it looks really cool in the video and really interesting and I would love to go, maybe stay there for a little bit, but I always imagined myself having a house with a big backyard yard and I don't know, like more accessibility to drive and explore and walk around and that just doesn't seem like a place where I could do that

They have to reorganize their brain around what living space is about. So similarly, this is going to iterate in people's minds over probably decades, if not generations. So something has to stop somewhere for the future cities to evolve because we know that they're going to have to evolve because of the changing climate. And I love that they want to restore the coral reefs and things like that. I mean, there's a lot of positivity in this

Even if you tried this in a really large space station in orbit, you're still going to run into the same problem. The technology is never the issue. It's the people that's the issue. You have to be able to somehow almost control that, which is 99.99% impossible because you can't control people, okay? History is replete with that. You can't control people. You can provide them structure and guidelines and laws and all that sort of thing

Yes, it was a very good yard. The tea and the very swell. Nice. Thank you
