August 14, 201510 yr They reach their goal ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
August 14, 201510 yr Author There's basically zero chance this will reach the goal, which is good. ย The worst thing that could possibly happen is the funding goal being met somehow. ย This would be a DashCon type disaster on a much much larger scale. ๐บ๐ธRFK Jr 2024๐บ๐ธ "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
August 14, 201510 yr Even if I donated a billion dollars, I don't think they'd make it... Edited August 14, 201510 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Well that was what I meant, was answering your question. Why has elegance found so little following?

August 14, 201510 yr Well can't fault them for not thinking big , though it hasn't got a hope in Hades of succeeding I find myself wishing it would do the impossible. I'd pop down south and visit it. ย If you're gonna try something impossible you might as well aim for the stars I say, my hat off to their bonkers scheme Edited August 14, 201510 yr by NightRevan
August 14, 201510 yr Author Don't get me wrong, it's a cool idea, it's just that building a city is a ridiculously massive and complicated undertaking with a whole bunch of factors, any one of which could entirely sink the project; money being only one of said factors. ย Even if they somehow got the money, the probability of this failing spectacularly would be quite high, IMHO. ๐บ๐ธRFK Jr 2024๐บ๐ธ "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
